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?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{c}{9}=\frac{750}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of calories in 5 cups of yogurt = 750,

So, the number of calories in 1 cup of yogurt = $\frac{750}{5}$

Now, let c be the number of calories in 9 cups of yogurt,

⇒ The number of calories in 1 cup = $\frac{c}{9}$

$\implies \frac{c}{9}=\frac{750}{5}$

Which is the required  proportion that would be used to determine the number of calories in 9 cups of yogurt.

Answer 2

750 / 5  = c / 9

solve this for c
