3.96 ouncesof meat makes 2 ounces protein, how much protein do I have in 2 ounces of meat

Question

I need to know how much protein is in 2 ounces of meat if the type of meat takes 3.96 ounces to equal 2 ounces of protein

Answer 1

3.96 oz of meat yields 2 oz of protein so 2 oz of meat yields 2/3.96*2=1.01 oz of protein. (Since 3.96 is almost 4, which is twice 2, then half that amount of meat would yield half the amount of protein, and 1 oz is half of 2 oz. So 1.01 oz, the actual answer, is close to that estimate.)
