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.

[tex]\% \text{milk fat}=\frac{13}{400}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\% \text{milk fat}=3.25\%[/tex]

We have to determine the percent of milk fat in 2 % milk.

[tex]\% \text{milk fat}=\frac{1}{50}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\% \text{milk fat}=2\%[/tex]

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.
