Question

A 3.5 oz box of candy contains 21 g of fat. How many grams of fat would a 14 oz box of candy contain?

Answer 1

A 14 oz box of candy will contain 84 grams of fat.

Step-by-step explanation

A 3.5 oz box of candy contains 21 g of fat.

Lets assume, a 14 oz box of candy will contain
`x` grams of fat.

Now using the ratio of 'weight of the box' to the 'grams of fat' , we will get.....

`(3.5)/(21)=(14)/(x)\\ \\ 3.5x=21*14\\ \\ 3.5x= 294\\ \\ x=(294)/(3.5)=84`

So, a 14 oz box of candy will contain 84 grams of fat.
