Step-by-step solution for: Food labels worksheet
Here are the step-by-step solutions for the questions on the worksheet.
1. How many calories would you take in if you ate the whole box of crackers in one sitting?
* Step 1: Look at the "Nutrition Facts" label for the crackers (top right).
* Step 2: Find the "Servings Per Container". It says "About 21". This means there are 21 servings in the whole box.
* Step 3: Find the "Calories" per serving. It says "60".
* Step 4: Multiply the number of servings by the calories per serving: $21 \times 60$.
* Calculation: $21 \times 60 = 1,260$.
2. If you ate 2 servings of crackers, how many grams of carbohydrates would you get?
* Step 1: Look at the cracker label again.
* Step 2: Find "Total Carbohydrate". It lists "10g" per serving.
* Step 3: Since you are eating 2 servings, multiply the amount by 2.
* Calculation: $10\text{g} \times 2 = 20\text{g}$.
3. If each gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories, how many calories would you take in by eating 2 servings of crackers?
* Step 1: From the previous question, we know that 2 servings contain 20 grams of carbohydrates.
* Step 2: The problem states that 1 gram of carbs equals 4 calories.
* Step 3: Multiply the total grams of carbs by 4.
* Calculation: $20 \times 4 = 80$ calories.
4. If fat provides 9 calories per gram, how many calories would you get by eating 2 servings?
* Step 1: Look at the cracker label for "Total Fat". It is "1.5g" per serving.
* Step 2: Calculate the fat for 2 servings: $1.5\text{g} \times 2 = 3\text{g}$ of fat.
* Step 3: Multiply the total grams of fat by 9 (since fat is 9 calories per gram).
* Calculation: $3 \times 9 = 27$ calories.
5. If you were to eat the entire can of soup, how much sodium would you consume?
* Step 1: Look at the "Chicken Noodle Soup" label (bottom left).
* Step 2: Find "Servings Per Container". It says "about 2.5".
* Step 3: Find "Sodium" per serving. It says "860mg".
* Step 4: Multiply the sodium per serving by the number of servings in the can.
* Calculation: $860 \times 2.5 = 2,150\text{mg}$.
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?
* Step 1: From Question 5, we know the entire can has 2,150 mg of sodium.
* Step 2: The recommended limit is 1,500 mg.
* Step 3: Subtract the recommended amount from the amount in the can to find the difference.
* Calculation: $2,150 - 1,500 = 650\text{mg}$.
7. How many servings of soup would I need to consume 20% of my daily requirement of fiber?
* Step 1: Look at the bottom of the soup label where it lists the Daily Values for a 2,000 calorie diet. Find "Dietary Fiber". It says the total daily goal is "25g".
* Step 2: Calculate what 20% of that daily goal is: $25\text{g} \times 0.20 = 5\text{g}$.
* Step 3: Look at the main part of the soup label to see how much fiber is in *one serving*. Under "Total Carbohydrate", it lists "Dietary Fiber 1g".
* Step 4: Divide the target amount (5g) by the amount per serving (1g).
* Calculation: $5 / 1 = 5$ servings.
8. How many calories would that be?
* Step 1: We determined in Question 7 that you need to eat 5 servings of soup.
* Step 2: Look at the top of the soup label for "Calories" per serving. It says "60".
* Step 3: Multiply the number of servings by the calories per serving.
* Calculation: $5 \times 60 = 300$ calories.
