There are 3 grams of fiber in 1/2 a cup of oatmeal.There are 1 1/8 cups of oatmeal left. Approximate the number of grams of fiber left in the box
6 in a cup
we have 9/8 of a cup
6 * (9/8) = 27/4 = 6 3/4
To approximate the number of grams of fiber left in the box, we first need to find out how many grams of fiber are in 1 cup of oatmeal. We know that there are 3 grams of fiber in 1/2 cup of oatmeal.
To convert 1 cup to 2 half cups, we can multiply the 3 grams of fiber by 2. So, 1 cup of oatmeal contains 2 * 3 = 6 grams of fiber.
Since there are 1 1/8 cups of oatmeal left, we can estimate the number of grams of fiber by multiplying the grams of fiber in 1 cup by 1.125 (1 1/8 as a decimal).
Therefore, the approximate number of grams of fiber left in the box would be 6 * 1.125 = 6.75 grams.
