Extra Credit

Can Food Drive

You may receive up to 10 extra credit points towards your HWQ for solving 5 different dimensional analysis problems for each canned food you decide to donate (2 points for each dimensional analysis problem you solve for each can. If the problems are very elementary, only one point will be awarded.) Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for both male and female has been provided for you. Using the charts, create a problem to solve. Some examples are:

How many of the canned food do I have to eat to meet the RDA of 3000 calories?

How many calories of the canned food do I have to eat to meet the RDA of 63g of protein?

How many cups of the canned food do I have to eat to meet the RDA of 150 µg of iodine?

How many grams of the canned food do I have to eat to meet the RDA of 800 mg of calcium?

What is the most number of calories of the canned food that I can take to ensure it does not go over the recommended intake of 20g of saturated fats? (You can find this at the bottom of the nutrition facts, like the one shown below.)

It has been recommended that we do not take more than 2500mg of sodium per day. What is the most amount of the canned food that I can take in cups, if I am not to go over 2500mg/day?

Follow the directions below:

For each canned food, copy the Nutrition Facts, like the one shown on the left.
Write out the problem you are trying to solve.
Write out a list of information you will need to solve the problem.
Show your work with correct units.
Circle your answer with correct units.

Remember, you must have a variety of problems. Same type of problems for all donated canned food will not be accepted. Therefore, examples of problems have been provided for you above.

If you need more suggestions on the type of problems you can solve, please talk to Miss Min.

Due Date: Last day of Canned Food Drive – 11/19/04
