Question

In whole milk, 13 parts out of 400 are milk fat. In 2% milk, 1 part out of 50 is milk fat. Which type of milk has more milk fat per cup?

Answer 1

Answer : The whole milk has more amount of milk fat per cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we are given that, in 2% milk, 1 part out of 50 is milk fat.

We have to determine the percent of milk fat in whole milk.

$\% \text{milk fat}=\frac{13}{400}\times 100$

$\% \text{milk fat}=3.25\%$

We have to determine the percent of milk fat in 2 % milk.

$\% \text{milk fat}=\frac{1}{50}\times 100$

$\% \text{milk fat}=2\%$

From this we conclude that, whole milk has more amount of milk fat per cup as compared to 2 % milk.

Hence, the whole milk has more amount of milk fat per cup.

Answer 2

13/400
1/50
Find a common denominator, 400. 400/50=80
13/400
80/400
80>13
2% milk has more milk fat per cup.
