Question

The number of calories in 5 cups of yogurt is 750. What proportion can you set up to determine the number of calories, c, in 9 cups of yogurt? StartFraction 5 over 750 EndFraction = StartFraction 9 over c EndFraction StartFraction 9 over 750 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 over c EndFraction StartFraction 750 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 9 over c EndFraction StartFraction 750 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 over c EndFraction

Answer 1

EndFraction = StartFraction 5 over c EndFraction StartFraction 750 over 5

Explanation:

Answer 2

The first answer is correct. 5/750=9/c

Explanation:

Five and nine are the amount of cups, so they must be either both on the top or both on the bottom. 750 and c are the amount of calories, so they must be either both on the top or both on the bottom. The first answer works for both, so that is correct.
