Question

By eating her potato, is Barbara taking in less than 45%

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is less tan 45 %.

Explanation:

If Barbara is only eating one potato, then she is ingesting about 19.7 mg of vitamin C. The amount of vitamin C that an adult's body needs is between 65 to 90 mg daily.

If we make a percentage: 19.7 : 65 = 0.30.

Barbara has ingested only 30% of the daily vitamins C that the body needs. In order to cover the necessary amount, she would have to eat more than one potato.
