To find out how many fluid ounces of milk provide 72.5 milligrams of calcium, we can set up a proportion. Here's how:
Let "x" represent the number of fluid ounces of milk.
We know that 8 fluid ounces of milk provide 270.0 milligrams of calcium. We can set up the first part of the proportion as:
8 fluid ounces / 270.0 milligrams = x fluid ounces / 72.5 milligrams
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and divide:
(8 fluid ounces) * (72.5 milligrams) = (270.0 milligrams) * (x fluid ounces)
580 fluid ounces * milligrams = 270.0 milligrams * x fluid ounces
Now, divide both sides by 270.0 milligrams:
580 / 270.0 = x
x ≈ 2.148
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we find that approximately 2.1 fluid ounces of milk provide 72.5 milligrams of calcium.
Therefore, the answer is 2.1 fluid ounces.
