how many grams of sodium are used to prepare 50 boxes of crackers?
hint:serving size= 0.50 ounces (6 crackers)a box has a net weight of 8 ounces
Wouldn't it depend on the content of Sodium in each cracker, or serving size?
To determine how many grams of sodium are used to prepare 50 boxes of crackers, we need to find the amount of sodium per box and then multiply it by the number of boxes.
1. First, let's find the amount of sodium per serving. We need to convert the serving size from ounces to grams.
1 ounce = 28.3495 grams
Therefore, 0.50 ounces = 0.50 * 28.3495 = 14.175 grams of crackers per serving.
2. Next, let's determine the number of servings in a box. Since a box has a net weight of 8 ounces and each serving is 0.50 ounces, we'll divide the net weight of the box by the serving size:
Number of servings per box = 8 ounces / 0.50 ounces = 16 servings
3. Now, we can find the total amount of sodium per box by multiplying the sodium per serving by the number of servings per box:
Sodium per box = 14.175 grams/serving * 16 servings = 226.8 grams
4. Finally, we'll find the total amount of sodium used to prepare 50 boxes by multiplying the sodium per box by the number of boxes:
Total sodium for 50 boxes = 226.8 grams/box * 50 boxes = 11340 grams
Therefore, 11340 grams of sodium would be used to prepare 50 boxes of crackers.
To determine the total amount of sodium used to prepare 50 boxes of crackers, we need to calculate the sodium content per box and then multiply it by the number of boxes.
First, let's convert the serving size and net weight from ounces to grams, since it is easier to work with grams in this case.
1 ounce ≈ 28.35 grams
Serving size: 0.50 ounces * 28.35 grams/ounce = 14.18 grams
Net weight: 8 ounces * 28.35 grams/ounce = 226.8 grams
Now, we can find the amount of sodium per box based on the given information. Assuming the sodium content is not provided, we'll need that information to proceed.
Once we have the sodium content per box, we can multiply it by the number of boxes (50) to find the total amount of sodium used to prepare all the crackers.
