nuggets?
1,620 calories
405 calories
720 calories
80 calories​

Answer 1

`\mathrm{B.}` 405 calories

Explanation:

4 chicken nuggets = 180 calories

9 chicken nuggets = x

Cross multiplication.

4x = 180 × 9

4x = 1620

`(4x)/(4) =(1620)/(4)`

x = 405

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

Answer:

405 calories.

Explanation:

To solve, we can create a proportion.

We are given that 4 nuggets is equivalent to 180 calories, therefore:

`(180cal)/(4)= (xcal)/(9)`

Cross multiply:

9 · 180 = 4 · x

1620 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 405 calories.
