Question

sonya knows she should keep her fat intake to pess than 65 grams per day if on a 2000 calorie diet. she is on ab1600 calorie per day diet. how many grems of fat should she limit herself to?

Answer 1

We would set up a ratio to compare the two proportions. 65 g for 2000 calories is to what for 1600 calories.

x= fat g for 1600 calorie diet


65/2000= x/1600
cross multiply

(2000)(x)= (65)(1600)
multiply

2000x= 104,000
divide both sides by 2000

x= 52 g


ANSWER: 52 g of fat per day is the daily limit for a 1600 calorie diet.

Hope this helps! :)
