Explanation:

Question 24: What is the net weight of this can of corn?

Step1: Find the net weight info on the corn can label.

Looking at the "LABEL FROM A CAN OF CORN", the line "NET WT. 12 OZ." gives the net weight.

Net weight of the corn can includes the contents (corn, water, sugar, salt as per ingredients) but not the can itself, as the can is the container. So "can" is not part of the net weight.

Step1: Find calories in a cup of corn from the label.

From the corn can label, "CALORIES" per 1 cup serving is 130 (as seen in "NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION PER 1 CUP SERVING... CALORIES: 130").

Step2: Compare calories of corn and squash.

Squash has 70 calories per cup, corn has 130 calories per cup. Since 70 < 130, a cup of squash has fewer calories, so it will add less to weight.

Answer:

12 ounces
