A cup of cereal has 12 grams of fiber,which is 40% of the recommended amount.
the answer is 30
Because 15 is 50 percent of 30
30 divided by 100 is 0.3
0.3 times 40 equals 12
let the recommended amount be x g
.4x = 12
x = 12/.4 = 30 g
30% im in imagine math
To find the recommended amount of fiber, you need to determine what the 100% value is and then calculate 40% of that.
Let's assume we want to find the recommended amount of fiber per day. According to general recommendations, the daily value for fiber intake is around 25 grams.
To calculate what 100% represents, divide the recommended daily value by the percentage expressed as a decimal:
Recommended daily value = 25 grams / 0.40 = 62.5 grams
Therefore, a cup of cereal with 12 grams of fiber represents 40% of the recommended daily value.
