To find the ratio of saturated fats to total fat in an ounce of cheddar cheese, we use the given data:
- Total fat = 9 grams
- Saturated fat = 6 grams
The ratio of saturated fat to total fat can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Saturated fat}}{\text{Total fat}} = \frac{6 \, \text{grams}}{9 \, \text{grams}}
\]
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
\[
\frac{6 \div 3}{9 \div 3} = \frac{2}{3}
\]
Thus, the ratio of saturated fats to total fat in an ounce of cheddar cheese is \( \frac{2}{3} \).
- Total fat = 9 grams
- Saturated fat = 6 grams
The ratio of saturated fat to total fat can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Saturated fat}}{\text{Total fat}} = \frac{6 \, \text{grams}}{9 \, \text{grams}}
\]
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
\[
\frac{6 \div 3}{9 \div 3} = \frac{2}{3}
\]
Thus, the ratio of saturated fats to total fat in an ounce of cheddar cheese is \( \frac{2}{3} \).
