Question

There are about 200 calories in 50 grams of Cheddar cheese. Tena ate 70 grams of this cheese. About how many calories were in the cheese that she ate if the number of calories varies directly as the weight of the cheese

Answer 1

In every gram of cheese, there is 4 calories, since 200 calories / 50 grams of cheese is just so. Multiply 4 x 70, you get 280 calories. That's you're answer.

Answer 2

There were 280 calories in the Cheddar cheese that was eaten by Tina

Explanation:

Number of calories present in 50 grams of Cheddar cheese = 200

Quantity of Cheddar cheese eaten by Tina = 70 grams

We need to find the number of calories in 70 grams of cheese

So, 1 grams of Cheddar cheese = 4 calories

⇒ 70 grams of Cheddar cheese = 4 × 70

= 280 calories.

Therefore, There were 280 calories in the Cheddar cheese that was eaten by Tina
