Answer 1

Answer:

B) ​16 percent

Explanation:

In the given question, it is mentioned that

the total consumption of protein should be 50 g

But a cup of milk contains only 8 g

Therefore the cup of milk contains only some percent of the total milk consumption which can be calculated as follows:

$\dfrac{\text{amount of protein consumed}}{\text{total amount of protein}}\times 100$

$=\dfrac{8}{50}\times 100\\\\=16\%$

Thus, option-B is the correct answer.
