Question

In a half-kilo jar of legumes there are 2.5g of fat. In another 400g can of legumes B there is 2.1g of fat. Are these data in proportion? If the data is not in proportion, in which of the two cans is there more fat proportionally?

Answer 1

• no
• 400 g can

Explanation:

A half-kilo jar is 500 grams, so a 400 g can would be 4/5 the weight. 4/5 of 2.5 g of fat would be 2.0 g of fat. The 400 g can has 2.1 g, so has more fat, proportionally, than its weight would suggest.

The fat is not proportional to the can sized. The 400 g can has more fat, proportionally.
