Question

analyzing recommended dietary allowance
use the chart to correctly complete the statements.
a 17-year-old female requires grams of protein.
a 19-year-old male requires grams of protein.
require the most iron.
as teen females become adults stay the same.

	carbohydrate (g)	protein (g)	iron (mg)
male 19–30	130	56	8
female 14–18	130	46	15
female 19–30	130	46	19

Explanation:

First Statement: A 17 - year - old female requires [ ] grams of protein.

Step1: Identify the relevant row

A 17 - year - old female falls into the "Female 14 - 18" age group.

Step2: Find the protein value

In the "Female 14 - 18" row, the protein (g) value is 46.

Second Statement: A 19 - year - old male requires [ ] grams of protein.

Step1: Identify the relevant row

A 19 - year - old male falls into the "Male 19 - 30" age group.

Step2: Find the protein value

In the "Male 19 - 30" row, the protein (g) value is 56.

Third Statement: [ ] require the most iron.

Step1: Compare iron values

• Male 14 - 18: 11 mg
• Male 19 - 30: 8 mg
• Female 14 - 18: 15 mg
• Female 19 - 30: 19 mg

Step2: Determine the group with the highest iron

The highest iron value (19 mg) is in the "Female 19 - 30" group.

Fourth Statement: As teen females become adults [ ] stay the same.

Step1: Compare values for teen (Female 14 - 18) and adult (Female 19 - 30) females

• Carbohydrate: 130 g (both)
• Protein: 46 g (both)
• Iron: 15 mg (teen) vs 19 mg (adult)

So carbohydrate and protein stay the same. But looking at the context (the first two were about protein, and here we can see from the table that protein for female 14 - 18 and 19 - 30 is 46 g, carbohydrate is also 130 g. But since the first two were protein, and the options likely expect protein (or carbohydrate, but protein is 46 in both). So protein (or carbohydrate) stay the same. But from the table, protein for female 14 - 18 and 19 - 30 is 46, so protein (and carbohydrate) stay the same. But the question is likely about protein or carbohydrate. Since the first two were protein, we can say protein (or carbohydrate) stay the same. But from the table, protein for female 14 - 18 and 19 - 30 is 46, so protein stays the same.

Answer:

A 17 - year - old female requires $\boldsymbol{46}$ grams of protein.
A 19 - year - old male requires $\boldsymbol{56}$ grams of protein.
$\boldsymbol{Female\ 19 - 30}$ require the most iron.
As teen females become adults, $\boldsymbol{protein\ (and\ carbohydrate)}$ stay the same (specifically, protein is 46 g for both teen and adult females, carbohydrate is 130 g for both).
