Question

Osvoldo has a goal of getting at least 30, percent of his grams of carbohydrates each day from whole grains. Today, he ate 220 grams of carbohydrates, and 555 grams were from whole grains. Did Osvoldo meet his goal?

Answer 1

Yes, Osvoldo met his goal of getting at least 30% of his carbs from whole grains.

Step-by-step explanation:First, we need to find out what 30% of 220 grams of carbohydrates is. To do that, we multiply 220 by 0.3 (which is the same as 30%). That gives us 66 grams of carbohydrates that should come from whole grains.

Next, we need to see how many grams of carbohydrates Osvoldo actually ate from whole grains. That's 555 grams.

Finally, we just need to compare the two numbers. Since 555 is greater than 66, Osvoldo met his goal of getting at least 30% of his carbs from whole grains.
