I need equation and answer

PLS HELP MEEEEE

Answer 1

Answer: 59 ounces

Explanation:

First, we take 700 - 464 = 236 Calories

Then we take 236 divided by 4 = 59 ounces

Answer 2

(700-464)/4 = 59 ounces of the sports drink.

Explanation:

The soccer player is allowed to eat 700 calories per meal. Assuming that he eats the Rueben sandwich, 464 calories, that would allow him 700-464 calories left, which is 236 calories.

In order to figure out how many ounces he is allowed to drink, we must divide the number of calories he can have for that meal, 236, by the number of calories per ounce, 4.

236/4 is 59, so he can drink 59 ounces of the sports drink.
