100 grams of pasta contain 75 grams of carbs, NOW i need 60 carbs for 1 meal-how many grams of pasta is this!?

My result is: 80

What u say?

Thanks

75/100 = 60/y

therefore y = 100*60/75 = 80

some nice math i see, the results match!

Thanks a bunch Stone!

you could always cross multiply
75/100 = 60/x
75x=6000
x=80

75/100 = 60/x
75x=6000
x=80

....and that is different than what I posted above.....how???


LOL......oh nevermind, I see you changed the "y" to a "x"

hehe lilboy, its not that simple. In the beggining it is but the further one goes the old methods dont apply anymore.
When cutting i must know to the T what i am eating and how many grams of each!
Its the only way to know and predetermine the results. Just like a student who wants to becoma a surgeon, he cant say oh well i will learn a bit here and there and expect to become a good surgeon. It ALL must be planned, and thats good because it sepparates the the people in their abbility to concentrate, plan and execute things!
