Week 18 – Percent Proportions & Part-Whole Relationship
5-1. WHAT ARE YOU EATING?
According to the sample label above, one serving of Cheesy Mac macaroni and cheese contains 15% of the recommended daily amount of saturated fat that a person should eat. Nutritionists recommend that a person should have no more than a certain amount of saturated fat each day. One serving of Cheesy Mac has 3 grams (3g) of saturated fat. How many grams of saturated fat should a person eat in one day?
Your Task: With your team, determine how many grams of saturated fat a person should eat each day. Look for more than one way to solve the problem and be ready to explain your reasoning.
5-2. To help you represent the situation in problem 5-1, Use the number line below:
a. With your team, decide how to partition the line (divide it into equal parts) so that 15% is shown.
b. The amount of saturated fat in one serving of Cheesy Mac is 3 grams. Where should 3g be labeled on the number line? Add this number to your diagram and justify your decision.
c. Use your diagram to help you decide how much saturated fat is in the recommended daily serving. Record your thinking.

5-4. One granola bar contains 4g of dietary fiber. The label says that 4g is 16% of the daily recommended amount. Louis decided to draw a diagram like the one below to understand this situation.
a. Copy the diagram and add the label for 16%.
b. How many grams of fiber are recommended each day? How can you show this with equal ratios?
c. What percent of fiber should Louis get from other foods? Why is this percent equivalent to the ratio 
?
d. What other amounts are missing on the diagram? Add labels for all parts, percents, and the whole.
e. Chris is eating cookies that contain 12g of dietary fiber, which he says is 48% of the recommended daily amount. How can you use ratios and part (b) above to check that 12g is equivalent to 48%?
