Question

carefully read the label and then use the information from the label to answer the question. if 1 cup of milk provides 1 gram of fiber and 4% of the recommended daily fiber intake, how many cups of milk are needed to make 11% of the dietary fiber? click the icon to see the label. cups of the soy milk provide 11% of dietary fiber. (type a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number.)

Explanation:

Step1: Set up proportion

Let $x$ be the number of cups. We know that 1 cup gives 4% of fiber. So the proportion is $\frac{1}{4\%}=\frac{x}{11\%}$.

Step2: Cross - multiply and solve

Cross - multiplying gives $4\%x = 1\times11\%$. Then $x=\frac{11\%}{4\%}=\frac{11}{4}=2\frac{3}{4}$.

Answer:

$2\frac{3}{4}$
