(1 point)
• 8.79 g
• 87.79 g
• 77.79 g
• 7.79 g

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of protein Luisa consumed from eating 3 ounces of pretzels, we can use the protein content per ounce.

The protein content per ounce of pretzels is 2.93 grams. Therefore, if Luisa ate 3 ounces:

\[
\text{Total Protein} = \text{Protein per ounce} \times \text{Number of ounces}
\]
\[
\text{Total Protein} = 2.93 \, \text{g} \times 3 = 8.79 \, \text{g}
\]

So, Luisa consumed **8.79 grams of protein**.

The correct answer is:
• 8.79 g
