Question

A nutrition label on a can of tuna fish states that every 1/4 cup of tuna has 1/2 gram of fat. How many cups of tuna are there for every gram of fat?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/2 cups

Explanation:

Given that:

Every 1/4 cup of tuna has 1/2 gram of fat

How many cups of tuna are there for every gram of fat:

Let cup of tuna for 1 gram of fat = t

Hence, If

1/4 cup of tuna = 1/2 cup of fat

t tuna = 1 cup of fat

Cross multiply :

1/2 t = (1/4 * 1)

1/2 t = 1/4

t = 1/4 ÷ 1/2

t = 1/4 * 2/1

t = 2/4

t = 1/2

Hence, 1/2 cups of tuna for every gram of fat
