In health class, Savannah is learning about making healthy food choices. For a lesson on digestive health, her teacher asks everyone to track how much fiber they eat daily. At breakfast, Savannah has a banana. She also has raisin bran cereal, which contains 3.6 grams of fiber. In all, Savannah eats 6.9 grams of fiber at breakfast.
Use an equation to find the amount of fiber in the banana.
grams
Let the amount of fiber in the banana be "x" grams. Since the total amount of fiber that Savannah eats at breakfast is 6.9 grams, we can set up the equation: x + 3.6 = 6.9.
Solving for x:
x = 6.9 - 3.6
x = 3.3
Therefore, the amount of fiber in the banana is 3.3 grams.
