The recommended daily intake of potassium (k) is 4.725 grams. the avergae raisin contains 3.677 mg k. assuming that each raisin contains 3.677 milligrams, how many raisins per day would a person need to eat to meet the recommended daily amount of k from consuming raisins alone?

A person should consume 1285 raisins per day.

Explanation:

It is given that the total intake of potassium for a person is 4.725 grams and a contains an average of 3.677 mg of potassium in it.

We need to find the total number of raisins that a person must consume in order to have the daily intake of potassium.

For, this we require a conversion factor:

To calculate the number of raisins, we divide the total intake by the amount of potassium one raisin contain, we get:

Hence, a person should consume 1285 raisins per day.
