Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- A large bowl of the cereal is about 90 grams (based on a serving size of 3/4 cup or 30g).
- The Nutrition Facts label shows that 1 serving (30g) provides 7g of fiber, which is 28% of the DV for fiber.
- Therefore, 90g (which is about 3 servings) would provide 84% of the DV for fiber.
- Based on a 2000-kcal diet, the DV for fiber is 28g.
- 84% of 28g is 23.52g.
- To find the %DV of fiber in the large bowl of cereal, we divide 23.52g by the DV (28g) and multiply by 100 to get 84%.
- Therefore, a large bowl of the cereal provides 84% of the DV for fiber on a 2000-kcal diet.
- The closest option is C (48%), which is still a good source of fiber. Options A and B are too low, and option D is too high.
