Question

The nutrition information on the cereal box says that a 1/2-cup serving provides 210 calories and 9 grams of dietary fiber. At that rate, find how many calories and grams of fiber are in a 2/3-cup serving.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the number of calories and grams of fiber in a 2/3-cup serving, we can simply multiply the values for a 1/2-cup serving by the appropriate factor. A 2/3-cup serving is 1.5 times larger than a 1/2-cup serving, so we multiply the calorie and fiber content by 1.5.

210 calories * 1.5 = 315 calories

9 grams of fiber * 1.5 = 13.5 grams of fiber

So a 2/3-cup serving would contain 315 calories and 13.5 grams of fiber.
