13/400
1/50
Find a common denominator, 400. 400/50=80
13/400
80/400
80>13
2% milk has more milk fat per cup.
Answer : The whole milk has more amount of milk fat per cup.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we are given that, in 2% milk, 1 part out of 50 is milk fat.
We have to determine the percent of milk fat in whole milk.
\(\% \text{milk fat}=\frac{13}{400}\times 100\)
\(\% \text{milk fat}=3.25\%\)
We have to determine the percent of milk fat in 2 % milk.
\(\% \text{milk fat}=\frac{1}{50}\times 100\)
\(\% \text{milk fat}=2\%\)
From this we conclude that, whole milk has more amount of milk fat per cup as compared to 2 % milk.
Hence, the whole milk has more amount of milk fat per cup.
