One serving of sundried raisins contains 2000 mg of fiber. That amount of fiber is 8% of the RDA for fiber. What is the RDA for fiber?

Question

mg and percent

Answer 1

This is what the ratio looks like:

2000 / x = 8 / 100

 

We can cross multiply to start isolating our value:

2000 * 100 = 8 * x

200000 = 8 * x

 

Now to divide by 8:

200000 / 8 = x

50000 / 2 = x

25000 = x

So the RDA suggests 25000 mg of fiber each day.
