Answer 1

To calculate the amount of protein Luisa consumed from 3 ounces of pretzels, we first determine the protein in 1 ounce and then multiply by 3.

The protein content in 1 ounce of pretzels is 2.93 g.

Now, for 3 ounces:

\[
\text{Protein in 3 ounces} = 2.93 \, \text{g/oz} \times 3 \, \text{oz} = 8.79 \, \text{g}
\]

Thus, Luisa consumed **8.79 g of protein**.

The correct response is:

**8.79 g**.
