Consider that a 1/2 cup serving of 1% cottage cheese is equivalent to 125 grams. If 1 ounce of cottage cheese is equivalent to 28.35 grams, how many ounces are in a/2 cup serving

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.42 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a 1/2 cup serving of 1% cottage cheese is equivalent to 125 grams. 1 ounce of cottage cheese is equivalent to 28.35 grams.  We are asked to find the ounces in 1/2 cup serving.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

[tex]\frac{\text{Ounce}}{\text{Grams}}=\frac{1}{28.25}[/tex]

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

[tex]\frac{\text{Ounce}}{125}=\frac{1}{28.25}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\text{Ounce}}{125}\times 125=\frac{1}{28.25}\times 125[/tex]

[tex]\text{Ounce}=4.42477876[/tex]

Upon rounding to nearest hundredth, we will get:

[tex]\text{Ounce}\approx 4.42[/tex]

Therefore, 1/2 cup serving contains 4.42 ounces.

Answer:

4.41 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ounce=28.35 grams

Set up proportion:

[tex]\frac{ounces}{grams} = \frac{1}{28.35} = \frac{x}{125}[/tex]

Do the butterfly effect which is multiplying 1 by 125, and then dividing the result with 28.35

1 x 125= 125 ÷ 28.35= 4.40917 ounces

Round the nearest hundreth, and you get 4.41 ounces.
