Question

one - half cup of baked beans contains 430 milligrams of sodium. how many milligrams of sodium are of baked beans? the answer is milligrams of sodium. (type a whole number or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

The problem seems to be incomplete as it asks "How many milligrams of sodium are of baked beans?" but doesn't specify the quantity of baked - beans for which we need to find the sodium content. If we assume the full question is asking for the sodium content in 1 cup of baked beans (since we know the content for half - cup):

Step1: Set up proportion

We know that $\frac{1}{2}$ cup has 430 mg of sodium. Let $x$ be the amount of sodium in 1 cup. The proportion is $\frac{430}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{x}{1}$.

Step2: Solve for $x$

Cross - multiply: $x = 430\times2$.
$x = 860$

Answer:

860
