Calculating the Mass of Water in Breakfast Foods

This video explains how to calculate the mass of water contained in foods eaten at breakfast, using bread, butter, and milk as examples.

Ingredients and Quantities

Bread: 50 g (30% water)
Butter: 25 g (15% water)
Milk: 250 g (85% water)

Method

1. Calculate Water Mass for Each Food Item Using Two Methods

Method 1: Percentage Formula

Multiply the total mass by the water percentage (expressed as a decimal).

Examples: - Bread: 50 g × (30/100) = 15 g water - Butter: 25 g × (15/100) = 3.75 g water - Milk: 250 g × (85/100) = 212.5 g water

Method 2: Rule of Three (Proportional Calculation)

Consider the total mass as 100%.
Calculate 1% by dividing the total mass by 100.
Multiply the 1% mass by the water percentage.

Examples: - Bread: 50 g ÷ 100 = 0.5 g (1%) 0.5 g × 30 = 15 g water

The same steps applied for butter and milk yield identical results.

2. Calculate Total Water Mass Consumed

Add the water masses from each food item:

Bread: 15 g
Butter: 3.75 g
Milk: 212.5 g

Total water mass = 15 + 3.75 + 212.5 = 231.25 g

Tips and Notes

Both calculation methods yield the same results.

The video demonstrates the practical use of percentages and proportional reasoning for nutritional calculations.
