One medium bran muffin connateness 4.2 g of fiber. How many ounces of fiber are obtained by eating three medium bran muffins?
I need help understanding the conversion factor process
1 muffin = 4.2 g fiber so the factor is 4.2g fiber/1 muffin.
(4.2 g fiber/1 muffin) x 3 muffin = 12.6 g fiber. Note that the factor is placed so that muffin in the denominator cancels with muffin in the numerator; what is left is grams fiber which is what you want. To convert to ounces. The factor is (1 oz = 28.3 g). Keep in mind that you can place the factor as (1 oz/28.3g) OR (28.1g/1 oz).
12.6 g fiber x (1 oz/28.3g) = ? oz fiber. Again, notice that g cancels and leaves oz.
To solve this problem, we will use a conversion factor to convert the grams of fiber in the muffins to ounces.
First, we need to know the conversion factor between grams and ounces. There are 28.35 grams in one ounce.
So, to convert from grams to ounces, we divide the number of grams by the conversion factor (28.35).
Now, let's calculate the number of ounces of fiber in one medium bran muffin:
4.2 g ÷ 28.35 g/oz = 0.148 oz
Therefore, one medium bran muffin contains 0.148 ounces of fiber.
To find out how many ounces of fiber are obtained by eating three medium bran muffins, we multiply the number of ounces of fiber in one medium bran muffin by three:
0.148 oz/muffin × 3 muffins = 0.444 oz
So, by eating three medium bran muffins, you would obtain 0.444 ounces of fiber.
To determine the number of ounces of fiber obtained by eating three medium bran muffins, we need to use conversion factors.
First, we need to know the conversion factor between grams and ounces. 1 ounce is equal to 28.35 grams.
So, we have 4.2 grams of fiber per medium bran muffin. To convert this to ounces, we use the following conversion factor:
4.2 grams × (1 ounce/28.35 grams) = 0.148 ounces
Now, we know that one medium bran muffin contains 0.148 ounces of fiber.
To find the total amount of fiber obtained by eating three medium bran muffins, we multiply the amount of fiber per muffin by the number of muffins:
0.148 ounces/muffin × 3 muffins = 0.444 ounces
Therefore, by eating three medium bran muffins, you would obtain 0.444 ounces of fiber.
