Answer 1

0.875 grams

Explanation:

Make a proportion

There are 250 mg in 1 serving, and x mg in 3.5 servings

250/1=x/3.5

Cross multiply

1*x=3.5*250

x=875 mg

Convert mg to g

1 mg is equal to 0.001 g

To find the amount of grams, divide the amount of mg by 1000

875/1000=0.875

So, there are 0.875 grams in the entire can

Hope this helps! :)
