Answer:

The answer is Option A

Explanation:

Cup of milk m = 299 mg

Cup of juice j = 261 mg

Limit of intake = 1000mg

Total amount of calcium from milk = 299 × m = 299m mg

Total amount of calcium from juice = 261 × j = 261j mg

Since it must be equal to or exceeding the daily limit u use the GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO SIGN.

299m + 261j > 1000
