Question

According to a milk carton, 2% milk contains 70 % less fat than whole milk. The nutrition label on the other side of the carton states that one serving of this milk contains 2.5 grams of fat. How many grams of fat are in an
equivalent serving of whole milk?

Answer 1

Answer:

8.33 grams of fat

Step-by-step explanation:

One serving of the milk contains 2.5 grams of fat.

2% milk has 70% less fat than whole milk.

This means 2% milk has 30% of the fat that whole milk has.

Let W = amount of fat in whole milk

30% of the fat that whole milk has

=30% × w

=30/100×w

=0.30×w

=0.30w

How many grams of fat are in an equivalent gram of whole milk

2.5g=0.30w

w=2.5g/0.30

=8.33 grams of fat
