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
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
Thanks Scott!
To find the grams of unsaturated fat in each ounce of cheese, we need to subtract the grams of saturated fat from the total grams of fat in each ounce.
Given that each ounce of cheese has a total of 18 grams of fat and 3.5 grams of saturated fat, we can calculate the grams of unsaturated fat using the following equation:
Grams of unsaturated fat = Total grams of fat - Grams of saturated fat
Grams of unsaturated fat = 18 grams - 3.5 grams
Grams of unsaturated fat = 14.5 grams
Therefore, each ounce of cheese has approximately 14.5 grams of unsaturated fat.
