Question

If four ounces of orange juice contain 50 calories, how many ounces of orange juice will have 175 calories?

Answer 1

We'd get 14 oz of OJ containing 175 calories.

Explanation:

Unit rate:

4 oz OJ

------------

50 cal

Now multiply this ratio by 175 calories. "calories" will cancel out and wel'll be left with:

(4 oz OJ) (175 cal)

---------------------------

50 cal

"cal" cancels, leaving us with (4)(175) oz / 50 = 14 oz.

We'd get 14 oz of OJ containing 175 calories.

Answer 2

14 ounces = 175 calories
