"One-half serving of soy sauce contains 385 milligrams of sodium." means
Numer of sodium (in 1/2 serving) = 385 mg
so,
number of sodium (in 1 serving) = 385 + 385 = 770 mg
number of sodium (in 4 servings) =
= 4 * (number of sodium in 1 serving)
= 4 * (770 mg)
= 3,080 mg
= 3.08 g
= 3.1 g (round-off)

There are 8 one-half servings of soy sauce in 4 servings. 385x8=3100 milligrams. You'll have to convert this to grams. Divide by 1000.
3100/1000=3.1 g

that means that 1 WHOLE serving contains 385mg x 2 = 770 mg of sodium
Therefore, FOUR whole servings will contain...
4 x 770 mg =3080 mg = 3.1 g
