Question

A box of cereal states that there are 99 calories in a 3/4 cup serving. What is the unit rate for calories per cup? How many calories in 4 cups of cereal

Answer 1

Hello There!

According to the question,

It is said that we have to find calories in 4 cups.

First we have to find in each cup.

So

`(3)/(4) * x = 99 \\ \\ so \: x = 99 * (4)/(3) \\ \\`

simplify 99 and 3 then it will look like

`33 * (4)/(1)`

1 has no value so 33×4=132 calories

Now it is in each cup or 1 cup.

To find in 4 cups, multiply 132×4

`132 * 4 = 528`

So 528 calories is the answer.
