Answer: 0.14 kg
Explanation:
Gourmet chocolate candy contains 7.00 g of dietary fat in each 22.7-g piece
That is 1 piece of candy weighs 22.7 g and contains 7.00 g of dietary fat
Converting the mass in pounds to kg
1 lb = 0.45 kg = 450 grams (1kg=1000g)
Number of pieces = [tex]\frac{450}{22.7g}=20pieces[/tex]
1 piece contains = 7 g of dietary fat
Thus 30 pieces would contain =[tex]\frac{7}{1}\times 20=140g[/tex] of dietary fat
1 g = 0.001 kg
Thus 140 grams =[tex]\frac{0.001}{1}\times 140=0.14kg[/tex]
Thus 0.14 kg of dietary fat are in a box containing 1.00 lb of candy.
