Question 763294: Benjy needs at least 1200 milligrams of calcium each day. Benjy eats an orange and drinks milk to get his calcium. Each orange furnishes 52 milligrams of calcium and milk furnishes 380 milligrams of calcium for each cup. How many cups of milk should Benjy drink each day? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Benjy needs 1200 mgs of Calcium per day
He eats an orange which furnishes him with
52mg of Calcium
1200 - 52 = 1148mgs
1148mg/380mg = 3 cups of milk.
So, Benjy should eat 1 orange and drink
3 cups of milk to achieve his 1200 mgs of Calcium.
Hope this helps.
