Question

Consider that a 1/2 cup serving of 1% cottage cheese is equivalent to 125 grams. If 1 ounce of cottage cheese is equivalent to 28.35 grams, how many ounces are in a/2 cup serving

Answer 1

4.41 ounces

Explanation:

1 ounce=28.35 grams

Set up proportion:

`(ounces)/(grams) = (1)/(28.35) = (x)/(125)`

Do the butterfly effect which is multiplying 1 by 125, and then dividing the result with 28.35

1 x 125= 125 ÷ 28.35= 4.40917 ounces

Round the nearest hundreth, and you get 4.41 ounces.

Answer 2

4.42 ounces.

Explanation:

We have been given that a 1/2 cup serving of 1% cottage cheese is equivalent to 125 grams. 1 ounce of cottage cheese is equivalent to 28.35 grams. We are asked to find the ounces in 1/2 cup serving.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

`\frac{\text{Ounce}}{\text{Grams}}=(1)/(28.25)`

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

`\frac{\text{Ounce}}{125}=(1)/(28.25)`

`\frac{\text{Ounce}}{125}* 125=(1)/(28.25)* 125`

`\text{Ounce}=4.42477876`

Upon rounding to nearest hundredth, we will get:

`\text{Ounce}\approx 4.42`

Therefore, 1/2 cup serving contains 4.42 ounces.
