Cereal is not a solution. Cereal is a mixture (cereal in milk) or a suspension such as cooked oatmeal or farina.
no... a solution has to have water and be clear
Actually I think mixture would be a better term for dry cereal. Now cereal with milk is very close to being a suspension, because it does not take the cereal long to settle out at the bottom of your bowl when you mix it in. A solution will not settle out.
Cereal with milk is considered a colloid. In this mixture, the cereal particles are suspended in the milk, which is a liquid, but they do not dissolve completely. This results in a heterogeneous mixture where the components can be distinguished, unlike a true solution where the solute is uniformly dissolved in the solvent. Thus, the cereal remains visible and can settle at the bottom if left undisturbed.
a bowl of cereal & milk because they dissolve into each other.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture where substances are evenly distributed at a molecular level. In this case, pure water and milk would form a solution because they are able to mix together completely. However, the fruit punch and cereal would not form a solution but rather a heterogeneous mixture, as the fruit punch would likely float on top of the milk and the cereal would remain separate in the mixture.
Cereal is a food made from grains that can be eaten as breakfast with milk or yogurt. Salt water is water that contains a significant amount of dissolved salt. They are different in composition, taste, and purpose.
yes, because a solution is the "best-mixed" of all possible mixtures which consists of two or more substances that are not chemically combined. EX: if you bake cookie dough in the oven with Chocolate Chips they become chemically combined.
