Question

3.Each day the average toddler needs to consume 900 to 1700 calories. At most 30% of a toddler's total calories should come from fat. Describe the number of fat calories and total calories for the diet. Is a toddler following a healthy diet if s/he consumes 1200 calories a day of which 372 are from fat?


We don't have to completely solve the problem, we just have to draw a table with the information and the inequalities (constraints). Does anyone know how I could set this up? I just probably need a hint and then I could set it up I just don't know how to start it off :-/ thanks!!

Answer 1

1700 > = C (calories) > = 900

0.30(1200) = 360 max calories from fat
372 > 360

too much fat

Answer 2

y>900
y<1700
.30(1200)=360 calories from fat
372 is more than 360
So, the toddler is not following a healthy diet as s/he consumes more than 360 fat calories .
