Question

Ted makes a grilled cheese sandwich using 3 ounces of cheese. Each ounce of cheese has 3.5 grams of saturated fat, and also some unsaturated fat. The cheese in Ted’s sandwich has a total of 18 grams of fat. How many grams of unsaturated fat does each ounce of cheese have? I just need practice. Pls help me understand. Thxs so much

Answer 1

the 3 ounces of cheese contain 10.5 grams of saturated fat ... 3 * 3.5

the cheese in the sandwich has a total of 18 grams of fat ... 10.5 of which is saturated
... this leaves 7.5 grams of unsaturated fat

3 ounces of cheese with 7.5 grams of unsaturated fat ... 2.5 grams per ounce
... 7.5 / 3

Answer 2
