Question

Consider that a 1/2 cup serving of 1% cottage cheese is equivalent to 125 grams. If 1 ounce of cottage cheese is equivalent to 28.35 grams, how many ounces are in a/2 cup serving

Answer 1

Answer:

4.42 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a 1/2 cup serving of 1% cottage cheese is equivalent to 125 grams. 1 ounce of cottage cheese is equivalent to 28.35 grams.  We are asked to find the ounces in 1/2 cup serving.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Ounce}}{\text{Grams}}=\frac{1}{28.25}$

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Ounce}}{125}=\frac{1}{28.25}$

$\frac{\text{Ounce}}{125}\times 125=\frac{1}{28.25}\times 125$

$\text{Ounce}=4.42477876$

Upon rounding to nearest hundredth, we will get:

$\text{Ounce}\approx 4.42$

Therefore, 1/2 cup serving contains 4.42 ounces.
