The American Heart Association recommends that healthy adults limit dietary cholesterol to no more than 300 mg per day. Convert this mass of cholesterol to ounces (1 oz =28.3459 g). Assume 300 mg has just one significant figure.

Respuesta :

Answer:

300 mg = 0.01 oz

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Cholesterol = 300 mg

To determine:

The mass in units of ounces (oz)

Calculation:

Unit conversions-

10³ mg = 1 g

28.3459 g = 1 oz

The mass of cholesterol in grams is:

=[tex]\frac{300mg*1g}{1000g} =0.3 g[/tex]

The mass in oz is:

=[tex]\frac{0.3g* 1 oz}{28.3459} =0.01058 oz[/tex]

When rounded to 1 sig fig, the mass would be = 0.01 oz
