Answer:

(c)/(9)=(750)/(5)

Explanation:

Given,

The number of calories in 5 cups of yogurt = 750,

So, the number of calories in 1 cup of yogurt =
(750)/(5)

Now, let c be the number of calories in 9 cups of yogurt,

⇒ The number of calories in 1 cup =
(c)/(9)

$\implies (c)/(9)=(750)/(5)$

Which is the required proportion that would be used to determine the number of calories in 9 cups of yogurt.
