Answer
<p> a. 5g, b. Cannot Be Determined</p>
Explain
<p> <br />a. In the nutritional information given, there is no content providing how much protein is in 1 cup of soy milk. However, it can be seen that for a serving of 200 ml (24 g) Soy Milk, the protein content is 5g. Thus we can infer, for 1 cup (which is approximately 237 ml) of Soy Milk, the protein content will still be 5g, counting after an approximation as nutrition values change according to portion size.<br /><br />b. Likewise, in term of Sodium, for a serving size of 200 ml (24 g) Soy Milk, contain 55mg of Sodium that forms 4% of your daily-required Sodium intake. We would not be able to determine directly how much Sodium is in 36 grams of the Soy Milk without knowing the volume or serving size associated with the 36 grams, thus this data itself is insufficient. In all nutritional label reading, values are calculated based on the weight/volume provided. There is therefore not an accurate way to derive the percent daily dietary value of Sodium in "x" grams without having a same serving size proportional correlation. </p>
