NUTRITION / REFERENCE QUANTITIES

Which amount are you comparing?

Read the reference quantity first. Then work out what a clearly defined portion contains, without turning one food value into personal advice.

Editorial draft · every figure is fictional and does not represent a real product. No personal needs assessment.

TWO DIFFERENT QUESTIONS

Per 100 grams or per portion?

A and B are fictional examples. The per-100-g value compares the same basis; the portion shows the protein in the stated amount.

A
12 g protein / 100 g
150 g portion: 18 g
B
8 g protein / 100 g
250 g portion: 20 g

18 g from A and 20 g from B are not a quality score. The portions have different sizes.

FIVE TASKS / NO SCORE

Read quantities in context.

These tasks practise simple calculations, not food quality or personal daily requirements. Hints and explanations open separately.

Task 01

A contains 12 g and B 8 g of protein per 100 g. Which contains more on this basis?

Show a hint

Both figures refer to 100 g.

Choose an answer
Answer and explanation

A. On the same quantity basis, 12 is greater than 8.

Task 02

B contains 8 g of protein per 100 g. How much protein is in 250 g?

Show a hint

250 divided by 100 is 2.5. Multiply 8 by 2.5.

Enter a number only. A dot or comma is accepted; the unit is already shown.
Answer and explanation

20 g. 8 × 2.5 = 20 g.

Task 03

An example contains 3 g of fibre per 100 g. How much is in 200 g?

Show a hint

200 g is twice 100 g.

Enter a number only. A dot or comma is accepted; the unit is already shown.
Answer and explanation

6 g. Twice the food amount contains 3 × 2 = 6 g here.

Task 04

A table gives 10 g per 100 g. How much does that give for 50 g?

Show a hint

50 g is half of 100 g.

Enter a number only. A dot or comma is accepted; the unit is already shown.
Answer and explanation

5 g. 10 × 0.5 = 5 g.

Task 05

Does the example with the higher value per 100 g provide more in every possible portion?

Show a hint

Compare 150 g of A with 250 g of B.

Choose an answer
Answer and explanation

No. No. A provides 18 g of protein in 150 g; B provides 20 g in 250 g. The portions differ.
