grams

Respuesta :

The recommended daily amount of fiber is 30 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of fiber in one cup = 12 grams

It is 40% of our daily recommended amount.

Let,

x be the quantity of fiber recommended daily.

40% of x = 12

[tex]\frac{40}{100}*x=12\\[/tex]

[tex]0.4x=12[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.4

[tex]\frac{0.4x}{0.4}=\frac{12}{0.4}\\x=30[/tex]

The recommended daily amount of fiber is 30 grams.
