Answer 1

205 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 117.4 grams of cereal, there are 110 calories.

First, we find the unit rate in calories/grams.

`\text{Unit Rate=}(110)/(117.4)(calorie)/(grams)`

This means that in 1 gram of cereal, there are 110/117.4 calories.

Thus, in 218.5 grams, there are:

`\begin{gathered} (110)/(117.4)(calorie)/(grams)*218.5\text{grams}=204.73\text{ calories} \\ \approx205\text{ calories} \end{gathered}`

There is approximately 205 calories in 218.5 grams of this cereal.
