There are 6 grams of fat in a 28 gram serving of Sunchips. How many grams of fat are in a 15 gram serving?
Show or explain all the steps you took to find the answer.
To find the number of grams of fat in a 15 gram serving of Sunchips, we can use proportions.
Let's set up a proportion based on the information given:
6 grams of fat is to 28 grams of serving size as x grams of fat is to 15 grams of serving size.
This can be written as:
6g/28g = x/15g.
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
28g * x = 6g * 15g.
28x = 6 * 15.
28x = 90.
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 28:
x = 90/28.
x ≈ 3.21.
Therefore, there are approximately 3.21 grams of fat in a 15 gram serving of Sunchips.
