00:01 So this question says that julia went to a grocery store and purchased cans of soup and frozen dinners.
00:06 Each can of soup has 350 milligrams of sodium.
00:13 So soup, 350 milligrams of sodium and frozen dinner has 500 milligrams of sodium.
00:33 It then tells us that julia purchased twice as many cans of soup.
00:38 As frozen dinners.
00:43 And together, they have 480 milligrams of sodium...
