Answer:

A) I consumed 69 calories.

B) There are 21 cashews in one serving.

Explanation:

Given that the nutrition facts label on a container of dry roasted cashews indicates there are 161 calories in 28 grams, and I eat 9 cashews totaling 12 grams, to determine how many calories do I consume and how many cashews are in one serving should be performed the following calculations:

A)

28 = 161

12 = X

12 x 161/28 = X

1932/28 = X

69 = X

So, I consumed 69 calories.

B)

12 = 9

28 = X

28 x 9/12 = X

252/12 = X

21 = X

Therefore, there are 21 cashews in one serving.
