Question

240 ml of milk provides about 8 grams of protein. If you need to get 20 grams of protein, how much milk should you get?

Answer 1

600 ml

Explanation:

Given,

240 ml of milk provides about 8 grams of protein,

That is, the ratio of grams of protein provided and milk =
`(8)/(240)`

Let x be the quantity of milk in ml that provides 20 grams of protein,

So, the ratio of grams of protein provided and milk =
`(20)/(x)`

`\implies (8)/(240)=(20)/(x)`

By cross multiplication,

8x = 4800

Divide both sides by 8,

x =
`(4800)/(8)` = 600

Hence, 600 ml milk should be needed to provide 20 grams of protein.
