Question

The nutrition information on the cereal box says that a 1​/2​-cup serving provides 150 calories and 3 grams of dietary fiber. At that​ rate, find how many calories and grams of fiber are in a 2​/3​-cup serving.

Answer 1

200 calories and 4 grams

Explanation:

According to the nutrition information on the cereal box, we know that 1/2 cup gives you 150 calories and 3 grams of dietary fiber.

So one cup of cereal will give you the double of these nutrients:

300 calories and 6 grams of dietary fiber

Therefore, finding the number of calories and grams of fiber in 2​/3​-cup serving:

Number of calories =
`(2)/(3)` ×
`300` = 200 calories

Grams of fiber =
`(2)/(3)` ×
`6` = 4 grams
