Question

select the correct answer.
a nutrition facts label lists 0 grams of fat for a serving of crackers. how much fat might be in the serving of crackers?
a. 0g
b. 0 - 0.25 grams
c. 0 - 0.49 grams
d. 0 - 0.5 grams
e. 0 - 0.6 grams

Explanation:

Step1: Understand nutrition labeling rules

In nutrition labeling, if the amount of a nutrient (like fat) is less than 0.5 grams per serving, it can be rounded down to 0 grams. So the actual amount of fat \(x\) satisfies \(0\leq x < 0.5\) grams.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: 0g is possible but the range should include values close to 0.5g (but less than 0.5g).
• Option B: 0 - 0.25g is too narrow as values between 0.25g and 0.49g also round to 0g.
• Option C: 0 - 0.49g is correct as it follows the \(x<0.5\) rule.
• Option D: 0 - 0.5g is incorrect because when \(x = 0.5\)g, it would round to 0.5g (not 0g).
• Option E: 0 - 0.6g is incorrect as values from 0.5g to 0.6g do not round to 0g.

Answer:

C. 0 - 0.49 grams
