Question

The American Heart Association recommends that for every 1000 dietary calories consumed, the sodium intake should be 1000 mg orless and should not exceed a daily limit of 3300 mg for an adult. What is the yearly limit on sodium intake in kilograms?1. 2.7kg2. 1.2kg3. 730kg4. 120000kg5. 2.1kg

Answer 1

`1.2\text{ kg}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the yearly limit on sodium intake

To calculate this, we have to multiply the daily limit by the number of days in a year

The number of days in a year is 365

The daily limit is given as 3300 mg

Thus, we have the yearly limit as:

`365\text{ }*\text{ 3300 = 1,204,500 mg}`

Now, we have to convert this to kg

To do this, we divide the kg value by 1,000,000

We have this as:

`(1204500)/(1000000)\text{ = 1.2045 kg}`

This is approximately 1.2 kg
