Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The recipe called for 1 tsp of salt which is about 2300mg. Assuming the recipe makes a standard loaf of bread, which is around 16 slices, the amount of salt per slice is 2300/16= 143.75mg. Therefore, consuming 2 slices of bread would amount to 2x143.75= 287.5mg. The closest option is B, which is 400mg.
