Exercise 64 Page 22

Let's find the amount of protein that Ms. Beal consumed from each kind of food.

Bran Muffin

She had $1$ bran muffin. From the table we can see how much protein $1$ muffin contains.

Orange Juice

Ms. Beal drank $16$ ounces of orange juice. According to the table, $8$ ounces contain $2$ grams of protein. Since she drank double this amount, the amount of protein she consumed was twice as much.

Sunflower Seeds

In $1$ ounce of sunflower seeds there are $2$ grams of protein. Ms. Beal ate $3$ ounces, so the amount of protein is $3$ times that.

Turkey Slices

Ms. Beal ate $2$ slices of turkey, so if there are $12$ grams of protein in one slice of turkey, in two slices there must be two times more.

Spinach

In $1$ cup of spinach there are $5$ grams of protein, but Ms. Beal only had half of one cup. This means she consumed half the amount of protein listed in the table.

In Total

Adding together all of the sources of protein, we will get how many grams of protein Ms. Beal had.
