b.2.7 lb

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

a. 103 lb

b.2.7 lb

c. 730 lb

d. 1.2 lb

This is the yearly limit that people should have when it comes to sodium intake. In this example, we learn that sodium intake should not exceed 3300 mg for an adult. This means that:

3300   mg = 3.3 grams

3.3 grams * 365 = 1204.5 grams

1204.5 grams = 2.65 lb

Answer 2

Answer:

2.66 pounds

Explanation:

Given

sodium intake daily limit = 3300 mg for an adult

To calculate for yearly limit in pounds

First calculate the total limit amount for a year by multiplying daily intake limit by number of days in the year

= 3300 mg × 365 days

= 1,204,500 mg/year

Now convert milligrams to pounds

(Remember 1 milligram = 2.205 × 10^-6 pound)

1,204,500 × 2.205 × 10^-6

=2.66 pounds
