Answer:
Option c. 5.7 grams
Option b. 5.3 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) A [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ounce hamburger patty has [tex]25\frac{1}{2}[/tex] grams of protein.
first we convert mixed fraction to improper fraction.
Amount of protein a [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] ounce hamburger patty has = [tex]\frac{51}{2}[/tex] grams
∴ Amount of protein a 1 ounce hamburger patty has = [tex]\frac{\frac{51}{2} }{\frac{9}{2} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{51}{2} \times \frac{2}{9}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{51}{9}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{17}{3}[/tex] = [tex]5\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = 5.7 grams
(b) A 6 ounces of fish has 32 grams of protein.
∴ The amount of protein a 1 ounce of fish has = [tex]\frac{32}{6}[/tex]
= 5.3 grams
A hamburger patty has approximately 5.7 grams of protein per ounce.
A fish has approximately 5.3 grams of protein per ounce.
