Answer:

You can separate the mixture to collect the iron using a magnetic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The printing on the box claims that your cereal has the most metallic iron of any breakfast cereal on the planet.

The last sample of the breakfast cereal contains bran flakes, raisins, milk and sugar. We need to analyze the iron content.

There are several chemical and physical experiments about this topic, the simplest is: You can use a magnetic material, the magnetic field of the material will affect the mixture previously prepared. In that way, only the metallic iron will move with the magnetic field movements. So, you can separate the metallic iron from all the other compounds.
