Question

A package states that there are 60 calories in 12 crackers and 75 calories in 15 crackers. Since the relationship is proportional, how many calories are there in 180 crackers?

Answer 1

Answer:

900 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the unit rate, how many calories are there in ONE cracker? To find that you have to divide 60 ÷ 12 = 5 and to check with the other one, 75 ÷ 15 = 5

So, one cracker is 5 calories. Now, how many calories are in 180 crackers? You multiply, 180 x 5 = 900

That means there are 900 calories in 180 crackers.

Hope that helps and have a great day!
