Explanation / Answer

A food with an ingredient of 20% daily value (DV) or more contributes to lots of that particular incredient in the food.A food with an ingredient of 5% daily value or less contributes a little.

Here recommended intake of copper is 25% which is equivalent to 250mg of copper for a 2000 calorie diet

1000mg of nutrient corresponds to 100% daily value in a daily 2000 calorie diet.

25% DV= 250mg of copper

6. Daily value of magnesium-20%=200mg per serving=200 x 2=400 mg for 2 servings

Requirement of magnesium for 2 servings in grams =(400/1000)gms=0.4grams
