Question 2: If you want to find the total amount of fat in a box of cereal, what should you do?

- Options:
- A. Look at the fat amount on the Nutrition Facts
- B. Add all the fats, carbohydrates, and sugar
- C. Multiply the fat amount on the Nutrition Facts by the servings per container
- D. Divide the fat amount on the Nutrition Facts by the servings per container

Solution:
To find the total amount of fat in the entire box of cereal, you need to multiply the fat amount listed on the Nutrition Facts label by the number of servings per container. This is because the Nutrition Facts label typically shows the fat content per serving, not for the entire package.

Correct Answer: C. Multiply the fat amount on the Nutrition Facts by the servings per container

Question 3: Why would you take a look at the seal on the Nutrition Facts?

- Options:
- A. Any product with a seal is safe to eat
- B. Companies can pay the FDA to lower those numbers
- C. Companies can use nutrition facts labels

Solution:
The question seems incomplete or unclear, as there is no mention of a "seal" on the Nutrition Facts label. However, based on common knowledge:
- Nutrition Facts labels are regulated by the FDA and must adhere to specific standards.
- Companies cannot pay the FDA to alter the nutritional values listed on the label.
- The presence of a "seal" (if it exists) might indicate certification or compliance with certain standards, but this is not directly related to the Nutrition Facts label itself.

Given the options, none directly address the purpose of a "seal." However, if we interpret the question as asking why one might examine the Nutrition Facts label, the most reasonable answer is related to understanding the nutritional content.

Correct Answer: C. Companies can use nutrition facts labels
