#50g#

Explanation:

If one serving of granola gives you #4%# of your daily protein requirement, it means the remaining #48g# is #(100-4)# or #96%#.

Hence #48:96# as #x:4#, where #x# indicates the amount of protein in the serving of granola.

#48/96=x/4#

#(1cancel48)/(2cancel96)=x/4#

#1/2=x/4#

Multiply both sides by #4#.

#4xx1/2=4xxx/4#

#2cancel4xx1/(1cancel2)=1cancel4xxx/(1cancel4)#

#2=x# or #x=2#

Hence, one serving of granola gives you #2g# of protein. Along with the remaining #48g# required, the total daily requirement is:

#48+2=50g#
