Question 106(i)

The food table is given below information about 2 types of soup cream of tomato and sweet corn. Use these lables to answer the given questions. (all the serving are based on a 2000 calories diet.)
Which can be measured more accurately the total amount of fat in cream of tomato soup or the total amount of fat in sweet corn soup ? Explain.

Answer 1

Serving size of 1 cup of sweet corn = 240 mL
Total fat = 2g on 2 %
2 % of fat in sweet corn of 1 cup (with 2 serving per container)
$=\frac{2}{100}\times 240=\frac{48}{10}=4.8g$
For one serving = $\frac{48}{2}=2.4g$
Serving size of 1 cup of cream of tomato = 240 mL.
Total fat = 2g on 3 %
3 % of fat in cream tomato of 1 cup
$=\frac{3}{100}\times 240=\frac{72}{10}=7.2gForoneserving=\frac{7.2}{2}=3.6g$
Hence, 2.4g is nearest to 2g in comparision of 3.6 g to 3 g.
