Question

A nutrition label shows that there are 161 calories in 28 grams of dry roasted cashews. You eat 9 cashews totaling 12 grams. How many cashews are in one gram?

Answer 1

0.23

Explanation:

If there are 161 calories in 28 grams of dry roasted cashews, that means that one gram of cashews contains 161/28 = 5.75 calories.

If you ate 9 cashews totaling 12 grams, that means you consumed 12/9 = 1.33 grams per cashew.

Therefore, there are 1.33/5.75 = 0.23 cashews in one gram.

Answer 2

Answer: There are 7.67 calories / 12 grams = 0.639 cashews in 1 gram of cashews.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the number of calories in 1 gram of cashews, we divide the total number of calories in 28 grams by 28: 161 calories / 28 grams = 5.75 calories/gram.

Since 12 grams contains 5.75 x 12 = <<12*5.75=69>>69 calories, each cashew contains 69 calories / 9 cashews = <<69/9=7.67>>7.67 calories.

Dividing by the weight of each cashew, we find that there are 7.67 calories / 12 grams = 0.639 cashews in 1 gram of cashews.
