Question

A 2 3/4-ounce chocolate candy bar contains 8 grams of fat per ounce. ABOUT how many grams of fat are contained in the whole bar?

a.) 8
b.) 16
c.) 24
d.) 32

Answer 1

To find the total grams of fat in the whole chocolate candy bar, first convert the weight of the candy bar to ounces:

2 3/4 ounces = 2.75 ounces

Next, multiply the weight of the candy bar by the amount of fat per ounce:

2.75 ounces * 8 grams of fat per ounce = 22 grams of fat

So, the whole chocolate candy bar contains ABOUT 22 grams of fat. The closest answer choice is:

c.) 24
