Thea consumed 4.9 g of fat for breakfast.
Thea consumed 5.4 g of fat for breakfast.

Answer 1

To determine how much fat Thea consumed for breakfast, we need to calculate the fat content from both the whole grain cereal and the milk.

1. **Whole Grain Cereal:**
- Thea ate 6 ounces of cereal.
- The fat content is 0.4 g per ounce.
- Total fat from cereal = 6 oz * 0.4 g/oz = 2.4 g

2. **2 Percent Milk:**
- Thea had 1 cup of milk. Since 1 cup is equivalent to 2 halves, we can use the nutritional facts for half a cup.
- The fat content in half a cup of 2 percent milk is 2.5 g.
- Total fat from milk = 2.5 g

3. **Total Fat Consumption:**
- Total fat = Fat from cereal + Fat from milk
- Total fat = 2.4 g + 2.5 g = 4.9 g

Therefore, Thea consumed **4.9 g of fat for breakfast**.
