Let’s go step by step through each question using the nutrition labels provided.

Question 1: How many calories would you take in if you ate the whole box of crackers in one sitting?

From the cracker label:
- Servings per container: About 21
- Calories per serving: 60

So, total calories = 21 servings × 60 calories = 1260 calories

✔ Check: 20 × 60 = 1200, plus 1 × 60 = 60 → 1260. Correct.

---

Question 2: If you ate 2 servings of crackers, how many grams of carbohydrates would you get?

From the cracker label:
- Total Carbohydrate per serving: 10g

So for 2 servings: 2 × 10g = 20g

✔ Simple multiplication — correct.

---

Question 3: If each gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories, how many calories would you take in by eating 2 servings of crackers?

We just found that 2 servings = 20g carbs.

Each gram of carb = 4 calories → 20g × 4 = 80 calories

✔ 20 × 4 = 80. Correct.

---

Question 4: If fat provides 9 calories per gram, how many calories would you get by eating 2 servings?

From the cracker label:
- Total Fat per serving: 1.5g

For 2 servings: 2 × 1.5g = 3g fat

Calories from fat: 3g × 9 cal/g = 27 calories

✔ 3 × 9 = 27. Correct.

---

Question 5: If you were to eat the entire can of soup, how much sodium would you consume?

From the soup label:
- Servings per container: about 2.5
- Sodium per serving: 860mg

Total sodium = 2.5 × 860mg

Let’s calculate:

2 × 860 = 1720
0.5 × 860 = 430
Total = 1720 + 430 = 2150 mg

✔ Double-check: 2.5 × 860 = (5/2) × 860 = (5 × 860)/2 = 4300/2 = 2150. Correct.

---

Question 6: If the recommended amount of sodium for someone with high blood pressure is 1500 mg/day, how much more than the recommended amount is present in this entire can?

Entire can has 2150 mg (from Q5)

Recommended: 1500 mg

Difference: 2150 - 1500 = 650 mg

✔ 2150 - 1500 = 650. Correct.

---

Question 7: How many servings of soup would I need to consume 20% of my daily requirement of fiber?

From the soup label:
- Dietary Fiber per serving: 1g
- Daily Value for fiber (based on 2000 calorie diet): 25g (shown at bottom of label)

20% of 25g = 0.20 × 25 = 5g

Each serving gives 1g fiber → so you need 5 servings to get 5g.

✔ 5g ÷ 1g per serving = 5 servings. Correct.

---

Question 8: How many calories would that be?

“That” refers to the 5 servings from Question 7.

Soup label:
- Calories per serving: 60

So 5 servings × 60 calories = 300 calories

✔ 5 × 60 = 300. Correct.
