A serving of Doritos has 17 g of carbohydrates. What is this mass in units of ounces? (16 ounces = 453.6 g)
17 g x (16 oz/453.6 g) = ?
To convert grams (g) to ounces (oz), we use the conversion factor: 1 oz = 28.35 g.
Given that 16 ounces = 453.6 g, we can write the conversion factor as: 16 oz / 453.6 g.
To find the mass in ounces, we can set up a proportion as follows:
17 g / x oz = 1 oz / 453.6 g
Cross-multiplying gives us:
17 g * 1 oz = x oz * 453.6 g
We can simplify this as:
17 oz = 453.6 g * x oz
Now, we solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 453.6 g:
x oz = 17 oz / 453.6 g
Calculating the right side gives us:
x oz ≈ 0.0375 oz
Therefore, a serving of Doritos with a mass of 17 g is approximately equal to 0.0375 ounces.
To convert the mass of 17 g to ounces, you can use the conversion factor 16 ounces = 453.6 g.
First, set up a proportion using the given conversion factor:
1 serving of Doritos / 17 g = 16 ounces / 453.6 g
To find the mass in ounces, you can cross-multiply and solve for the unknown value:
(1 serving of Doritos) x (16 ounces) = (17 g) x (453.6 g)
Now divide both sides of the equation by 453.6 to solve for the ounces:
(1 serving of Doritos) x (16 ounces) / (453.6 g) = (17 g) x (453.6 g) / (453.6 g)
Simplifying the equation:
(16 ounces) / (453.6 g) = 17 x (453.6 g) / (453.6 g)
Finally, perform the calculation and cancel out the units:
(16 ounces) / (453.6 g) = 16 / 453.6 = 0.03528
Therefore, a serving of Doritos with a mass of 17 g is equivalent to approximately 0.03528 ounces.
