Question 1179672: "I am a healthy eater," Alex told his class. "I eat the same thing every day. For breakfast I eat 3/4 of a whey protein bar." The protein bar that Alex eats has a larger wrapper with nutritional information on it. A serving size is 1/2 of a bar. Each serving has 180 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 15 grams of protein.
"How is eating the same thing every day healthy?" asked Jennifer.
Alex ignored Jennifer. He prefers to brag. "Last year I only missed my healthy breakfast two time."
Last week Alex did NOT miss his healthy breakfast. How many grams of protein did Alex get from his breakfast last week? How many grams of fat did Alex get from his protein bar last year?

1.
1/2 of protein bar contains = 15 grams of protein.
3/4 of protein bar for 7 days contain
= 15/(1/2) × 3/4 × 7 = 157.5 grams






2.
1/2 of protein bar contains = 6 grams of fats.
3/4 of protein bar contains
= 6/(1/2) × 3/4 = 9 grams
Now, total fats, 9 grams for a year(missed only two days)
= 9 × (365 − 2) = 3267 grams
