Luisa ate 3 ounces of pretzels. How many grams of protein did Luisa consume?
7.79 g
77.79 g
8.79 g
87.79 g

Answer 1

To calculate how many grams of protein Luisa consumed, we'll first need to determine how many calories of pretzels she ate and then convert that to protein.

1. **Calculate the protein per ounce:**
- There are 28.35 grams in one ounce. With the nutritional facts provided per serving (presumably per ounce or another serving size), we need to ensure we use the correct ratio.
- From the provided data, we can first calculate the grams of protein in an ounce if 108 calories correspond to a certain serving size (which is assumed here as 1 ounce or 28.35 g for calculation).

2. **Calculate total protein consumed in 3 ounces:**
- Protein in 1 ounce of pretzels = 2.93 g
- Therefore, for 3 ounces, the total protein would be:
\[
\text{Total protein} = 2.93 \text{ g/ounce} \times 3 \text{ ounces} = 8.79 \text{ g}
\]

So, the correct answer is **8.79 g**.
