Answer:

Explanation:

This is a proportion problem. I think you just lost a zero.

12/100 = 9/x Cross multiply

12x = 100*9 Combine the right.

12x = 900 Divide by 12

12x/12 = 900/12

x = 75 grams

So if you put 75 grams of tasty Oats in a bowl and covered it with milk the cereal would give you 9 grams of Protein.

2.

1 gram of Tasty Oats cereal contains 12/100 = 0.12 grams of protein.

1 gram of Cornbits contains 5/45 = 0.11 grams of protein.

By the narrowest of margins the Tasty Oats has more protein in it.
