Greetings!
"Write and solve an equation to determine how many servings of this item ...exactly 45 grams of cholesterol"...
The variable in this equation would be the amount of servings she can eat of the items.
Lets represent this as
; =amount of servings
The item has 30 mg of cholesterol and she wants to only consume 45 mg.
The equation would be:
Solve for x.
Divide both sides by 30.
Simplify.
Alisa can consume 1.5 servings of the item each day.
Hope this helps.
