MA has set her goals to consume 3 carbohydrate choices per meal. How many grams of carbohydrate does this correspond to if each choice is 15 grams?

15 grams
30 grams
45 grams
60 grams

The correct answer is: 45 grams

To determine the total grams of carbohydrates MA will consume based on her goal of three carbohydrate choices, it is essential to understand the standard value for each carbohydrate choice. Each carbohydrate choice typically corresponds to 15 grams of carbohydrates. If MA aims to consume three carbohydrate choices, you would multiply the number of choices (3) by the grams per choice (15 grams). Thus, the calculation would be: 3 choices × 15 grams/choice = 45 grams. This means that MA’s goal of three carbohydrate choices equates to a total of 45 grams of carbohydrates per meal. Hence, the correct answer reflects the total carbohydrate content that corresponds to her set goal.
