This Week in Math In math class, we have recently been learning about rates.

The assignment we were supposed to do was to choose 5 breakfast items from a chart that listed food and beverages. The chart said how many calories the item had and how many calories were from fat. I chose sugar, toast, oatmeal, yogurt, and orange juice. On study link, 8.5 we were supposed to find the precedent of the total number of calories and the items we chose that came from fat. 10% of my calories were from fat. On math journal, page 297 for question 3. I was supposed to find the totals from each of the categories: fat, carbohydrates, and proteins and divide each of these by the number of calories. The percent of my lunch that came from fat was 21%, the percent that came from carbohydrates was 61%, and the percent from proteins was 25%. First, I added the total number of calories from the items I chose. Then, I added the calories from fat of items I chose. To find the percent of the total number of calories that came from fat, I divided the calories from fat by the total number of calories. I found that from the items I chose 10% of the calories came from. I learned a very useful skill if you are a nutritionist, you will need to know how to do this. I thought that it was fun to do this because you learn about how unhealthy things are. I got all the desired results because it is all about if you did the math right. I stayed in the limit for having a percent under 30%. I might use this skill when I get older as a nutritionist or just of I want to see how many calories and fat are in something.
