Question

nutrition label task
in this task, you will demonstrate your understanding of proportions and nutrition labels. complete the following items:

1. identify a dish that you want to research that has at least 3 main ingredients.
2. fill in the ingredient table below with the nutritional information you find. use the following source to search and record information for your ingredients: https://tools.myfooddata.com/nutrition-facts/
3. using the table information you found along with the daily intake information, fill in the nutrition label. record the totals for all the nutrition facts and percentages by dividing your totals by the daily intakes. you will only need to record the nutrition information from your table.

Explanation:

Sum the values for each nutrient row

Using the Nutritional Analysis knowledge point
We calculate the sum for each row in the Ingredient Table:

• Calories: \(205 + 216 + 392 = 813\)
• Total Fat: \(1\% + 21\% + 25\% = 47\%\)
• Cholesterol: \(0\% + 40\% + 4\%\) (Note: The student wrote percentages in the table, but the prompt asks to record totals and calculate percentages by dividing totals by daily intakes. Let's sum the values as written in the table to find the "Total" column values):
• Total Fat: \(1\% + 21\% + 25\% = 47\%\)
• Cholesterol: \(0\% + 40\% + 4\% = 44\%\)
• Sodium: \(0\% + 3\% + 44\% = 47\%\)
• Carbohydrates: \(16\% + 0\% + 20\% = 36\%\)
• Protein: \(9\% + 40\% + 28\% = 77\%\)

Calculate the total values

Using the Proportional Reasoning knowledge point
We compile the summed values for the "Total" column of the Ingredient Table:

• Calories: \(813\)
• Total Fat: \(47\%\)
• Cholesterol: \(44\%\)
• Sodium: \(47\%\)
• Carbohydrates: \(36\%\)
• Protein: \(77\%\)

Answer:

The completed "Total" column for the Ingredient Table is:

Nutrient	Total
Total Fat	47%
Cholesterol	44%
Sodium	47%
Carbohydrates	36%
Protein	77%
