Question

there are 110 calories per 177.4 grams of Cereal X. Find how many calories are in 217.5 grams of this cereal

Answer 1

Hi Kelsie, let c represent the number of calories in 217.5 grams. Set up a proportion:

177.5 / 110 = 217.5 / c

Cross multiply and solve for c:

177.5 * c = 110 * 217.5

c = 134.9

There are 134.9 calories in 217.5 grams of cereal x.
