A food label on a box of cereal states that a serving size of 1 cup contains 220 calories. The total fat is 6 grams, which is 10 percent of daily value. Cholesterol is listed as 0 mg. If you eat 1 1/2 cups of cereal for breakfast, how many calories, grams of fat, percent Daily Value of fat, and milligrams of cholesterol will you eat?

Answer:

330 calories, 9g fat, 15% DV of fat, and 0mg cholesterol

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the serving size is 1 cup, eating 1.5 (1 1/2) cups will multiply each value by 1.5:

220 calories * 1.5

330 calories

6 grams of fat * 1.5

9 grams of fat

10% DV of fat * 1.5

15% DV of fat

0mg of cholesterol * 1.5

0mg of cholesterol
