Celeste's diet restricts her intake of protein to 24 g per day. 1lb=16oz
If she eats 1.2 oz of protein, how many grams of protein has she eaten?

Respuesta :

Answer:

34 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

protein intake per day = 24 grams

protein taken = 1.2 oz

grams of protein taken by her = ?

1 lb = 16 oz

Solution:

As she eaten 1.2 oz protein and we need to know this amount in grams.

first we will convert oz (ounce) to lb (pound)

1 lb = 16 oz

x lb = 1.2 oz

So,

1.2 lb = 1.2/16 = 0.075 lb

Now, we come to know that she eaten 0.075 lb of proteins.

but we required this  value in grams

As we know that

1 lb = 453.6 g

then

0.075 lb = x grams of proteins

by cross multiplication

grams of protein = 453.6 g x 0.075 lb / 1 lb

grams of protein = 34 g

So she has eaten 34 grams of protein.
