Three cups of fruit cocktail contain 357 milligrams of potassium. How many milligrams of potassium are a half cup serving of fruit cocktail? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary. Be sure to pick the correct label for your answer.

To determine how many milligrams of potassium are in a half-cup serving of fruit cocktail, follow these steps: 1. **Find the amount of potassium per cup:** \[ \text{Total potassium} = 357 \text{ mg} \\ \text{Total cups} = 3 \\ \text{Potassium per cup} = \frac{357 \text{ mg}}{3} = 119 \text{ mg per cup} \] 2. **Calculate the amount for a half-cup serving:** \[ \text{Half-cup} = \frac{1}{2} \text{ cup} \\ \text{Potassium in half cup} = 119 \text{ mg} \times \frac{1}{2} = 59.5 \text{ mg} \] **Answer:** 59.5 mg of potassium
