BONEHEAD MATH QUESTION

[bertha katzenengel]

If there are 21 carbohydrates in four Chocolate Creme Oreo Cookies, but I need to figure only for two cookies, I would divide 21 by 2.

Is that correct? :dunce:

I'm really not stupid. Just befuddled.

1. Yes.

4. thank you

how embarrassing :blush:

2. I divide 21 by 4

that way you get the count per cookie.

5. thank you

i ate a lunchable (over-processed food but handy for a very very busy day) but this one had cookies in it. the nutritional value is not separated by food item.

me = math bonehead :dunce:

3. No no no! What are you thinking?!

First you divide by four, then you multiply by two, silly!

:P

6. uh-oh . . . would i get a different result?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. Yes.

You'd get: 10.5

9. you're trying to confuse me, aren't you?!

i'm confused enough already. with this math i've just learned that what i consumed -- a SMALLER portion of crackers, cheese, and meat than is in the plain no-cookie version of a lunchable -- contains MORE carbs and calories. maybe the Nabisco site is lying.

:banghead:

11. Why would it matter?

Who in the world would only eat 2 Oreos?????

[bertha katzenengel]

13. This diabetic would eat one.

Just one. As a special treat. :hi:

I certainly take your point, though. I kept eating them long after I realized that the creme filling is little more than sugar and shortening. :P

12. I usually forget the math..Get a glass of milk..and eat the entire Bag.
