Answer 1

To determine how many of the cereal brands have less than 1/4 of a gram of sodium per cup, we first convert 1/4 of a gram into decimals.

1/4 of a gram is equal to 0.25 grams.

Now let's compare the sodium content of each brand:

- **Crispy Flakes:** 0.23 g of sodium per cup (less than 0.25 g)
- **Corn Puffers:** 0.28 g of sodium per cup (greater than 0.25 g)
- **Energy Doodles:** 0.26 g of sodium per cup (greater than 0.25 g)

Now we can see:

- **Crispy Flakes** has less than 0.25 g of sodium.
- **Corn Puffers** does not.
- **Energy Doodles** does not.

Only **Crispy Flakes** has less than 1/4 of a gram of sodium per cup. Therefore, the total number of brands with less than 1/4 of a gram of sodium per cup is **1**.
