Question

One 1.6 oz. package of cinnamon and spice instant oatmeal contains 34 g of carbohydrates. If you had instant oatmeal 6.0 days a week, how many ounces of carbohydrate would you consume in a week? (16 oz = 1 lb = 454 G = 256 Drams = 7000 Grains).

a) 42.5 oz
b) 48.0 oz
c) 36.0 oz
d) 51.2 oz

Answer 1

By converting grams of carbohydrates to ounces and multiplying by the number of days in a week, one can conclude that approximately 7.19 ounces of carbohydrates would be consumed in a week, which does not match any of the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many ounces of carbohydrate you would consume in a week if you ate the cinnamon and spice instant oatmeal 6.0 days a week, with each 1.6 oz. package containing 34 g of carbohydrates, we need to perform several steps of unit conversion and multiplication.

• First, find the total grams of carbohydrates consumed in a week: 34 g/package × 6 days/week = 204 g/week.
• Next, convert grams to ounces using the given conversion (16 oz = 454 g). Calculate the number of ounces in 204 grams: (204 g) × (1 oz / 28.35 g) ≈ 7.19 oz.

After performing these steps, we can conclude that you would consume approximately 7.19 ounces of carbohydrates in a week from the oatmeal.

Therefore, none of the options provided (a) 42.5 oz, (b) 48.0 oz, (c) 36.0 oz, or (d) 51.2 oz are correct. The question may contain a typo or incorrect options.
