Problem

(1)) Keesha keeps track of the fiber she eats to make sure she gets enough each day. Her breakfast contains 8 grams of fiber and her recommended daily amount is 25 grams per day. Keesha wants to know what percent of her daily amount of fiber she has at breakfast. Complete the table to show an equivalent ratio where the total amount is 100 grams. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline Amount at Breakfast (g) & 8 & \\ \hline Total Amount (g). & 25 & 100 \\ \hline \end{tabular}

Solution

Step 1 :Set up a proportion: \(\frac{8}{25} = \frac{x}{100}\)

Step 2 :Cross multiply and solve for x: 8 * 100 = 25 * x

Step 3 :Divide by 25: \(x = \frac{800}{25} = 32\)
