There are about 1.5 grams of fat in 1 tablespoon of hummus. How many grams of fat are in 2 1/2 cups of hummus? ( Note: 16. Tablespoons = 1 cup )

Answer 1

100 grams? Lol I have to write at least 20 characters to confirm my answer so.... bebebebebebebeb What I did was I took the 2 1/2 and put it equivalent to teaspoons and I multiplied it to 1.5

Answer 2

Answer: There are 24 grams of fat.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

1.5 grams = 1 table spoon of hummus

As we know that

1 cup = 16 tablespoons

So,
`2(1)/(2)\ cups=(5)/(2)\ cups=(5)/(2)* 16=5* 8=40\ tablespoons`

Since 1 table spoons = 1.5 grams

16 tablespoons is given by

`16* 1.5\\\\=24\ grams`

Hence, there are 24 grams of fat.
