EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

72 calories -------------> 3/4-cup serving

Unit rate equation:


\text{Unit rate= }\frac{\Delta calories}{\Delta\text{cup}}

Replacing terms:


\text{Unit rate = }(72)/((3)/(4))=96\text{ calories/cup}

The unit rate for calories per cup is equal to 4.

Calories in 2 cups of cereal :

= 96 calories/cup * 2 cups = 192 calories.
