Question

Celeste's diet restricts her intake of protein to $24g$per day. If she eats $1.2oz$ of protein, has she exceeded her protein limit for the day? (2.6)

Short answer

Celeste's diet limits her protein consumption to $0.8oz$ a day. As a result, she has surpassed the daily protein limit of $1.2Oz-0.8Oz=0.4Oz$.

Step-by-step solution

Given Information 

The given is the restricted diet intake of protein by Celeste .

The objective is to determine whether she exceeds her limit of protein .

There is $24g$per day of protein.

Explanation

Given protein $=24\mathrm{g}$per day

Protein is in short supply.

Plan g Metric US factor lb US factor oz

Conversion factors

$454g=1lb$

$\frac{454g}{1lb}$and $\frac{1lb}{454g}$

$1lb=16oz$

$\frac{1lb}{16oz}$ and$\frac{16oz}{1lb}$

Set up problem

$24g^{\mathrm{\prime }}\times \frac{1l\text{b}}{454g\mathrm{\prime }}\times \frac{160z}{1lb}=0.80\mathrm{z}$(rounded)

Celeste's protein intake is limited to $0.8oz$ a day due to her diet. Thus, her daily protein limit of $1.2oz-0.8oz=0.4oz$has been exceeded.
