A
25 g serving of peanut butter contains 7.5 g of protein and 2.4 g of fibre.
a) How many grams of protein will there be in a 265 g jar of peanut butter?

Respuesta :

Answer:

187.5 g of protein

Step-by-step explanation:

given 25 g contains 7.5 g of protein.

let 625 g contain x grams of protein, then by proportion

[tex]\frac{25}{7.5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{625}{x}[/tex] ( cross multiply )

25x = 7.5 × 625 = 4687.5 ( divide both sides by 25 )

x = 187.5

That is a 625 g jar of peanut butter contains 187.5 g of protein
