Answer: 233.33 calories

The cheese in this question has 100 calorie/30 grams and Ruth ate 70 grams of that cheese. To find the number of calories that Ruth ate, then you just need to multiply the mass with the calorie. The calculation will do as follow:
70grams * (100 calorie/30grams)= 233.33 calories
