Answer 2

Answer:

0.042 kilograms of dietary fat are in a box containing 3.00 lb of candy.

Explanation:

Total mass of candy in box = 3.00 lbs = 1360.78 g

1 lbs = 453.592 g

Mass of a single candy = 22.7 g

Number of candies in 1360.78 g = $\frac{1360.78 g}{22.7 g}=59.94\approx 60$

Amount of fat in 1 candy which weights 22.7 g = 7.00 g

Amount of fat in 60 candies = 60 × 7 g = 42 g = 0.042 kg

1 g = 0.001 kg

0.042 kilograms of dietary fat are in a box containing 3.00 lb of candy.
