Question

5g of margarine contains 3.6g of fat.

How many grams of fat are there in 92g of Margarine?

Answer 1

Lets get started :)

We can use the concept of ratios

5g of margarine : 3.6g fats
92g of margarine : ?

We can cross multiply, which is an easier solution

Let us use the variable p to represent the grams of fats to be found

5 x p = 3.6 x 92
5p = 331.2

We, now, can divide by 5 on either sides so we can isolate and find the value of p


`(5p)/(5) = (331.2)/(5)`
5 and 5 cancels out

p = 66.24

So, 92g of margarine will contain 66.24g of fats

Answer 2

Hey there! :D

Find the unit rate.

3.6/5= 0.72

Multiply that by 92.

0.72*92= 66.24

There are 66.24 grams of fat in 92g of Margarine.

I hope this helps!
