Question

The amount of protein varies directly with the mass of a certain food. If 50 grams of  cheese contains 19 grams of protein, how much protein is there in 87 grams of  cheese?​

Answer:

We have ,

⇒Amount of Protein in 50 Grams of cheese = 19 grams Protein

⇒We need Amount of protein in 87 Grams of cheese

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need amount of Protein in 1 Gram of Cheese

So,

⇒Amount of Protein in 1 Gram of Cheese = $\frac{Amount.of.Protein}{Amount .of. Cheese}$

⇒ $\frac{Amount.of.protein}{Amount . of. Cheese} = \frac{19 .grams[Protein] }{50 Grams[Cheese]}$

⇒ $\frac{19.Grams}{50.Grams}$

⇒ 0.38 Grams

We know that 1 gram of cheese has 0.38 Gram of Protein

Now, we need

⊕Protein Content in 87 Grams of cheese⊕

⇒ Protein content in 87 Grams of cheese = Protein in 1 gram cheese × 87

= 0.38 × 87

= 33.06

So,

The Protein content in 87 Grams of Cheese is 33.06 Grams of Protein
