Answer:

There are 8 grams of protein per cup of milk.

C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a graph of Protein( gram) Vs Amount of milk (cups).

In graph

x-axis represents Amount of Milk (cups)

y-axis represents Protein (grams)

In graph, Line passing through (0,0) and (1.5,12)

Using two point we will make equation of line.

[tex]y-0=\dfrac{12-0}{1.5-0}(x-0)[/tex]

[tex]y=8x[/tex]

[tex]P=8a[/tex]

Now, we will check each option.

Option A: Put a=2 and P=20

[tex]20=8(2)[/tex]

[tex]20\neq 16[/tex]

False

Option B: Put a=1 and P=13.5

[tex]13.5=8(1)[/tex]

[tex]13.5\neq 8[/tex]

False

Option C: Put a=1 and P=8

[tex]8=8(1)[/tex]

[tex]8= 8[/tex]

True

Option D: Put a=12 and P=1.5

[tex]1.5=8(12)[/tex]

[tex]1.5\neq 96[/tex]

False

Hence, There are 8 grams of protein per cup of milk.
