Answer:
5 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The calories contained are from grams of carbohydrates and other ingredients
One gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories
The equation 4c + 5 = 27 represents the relationship between these quantities.
1. 5 from the equation represent calories from other ingredients
2. Neither 8 nor 3 is the solution to the equation
4c + 5 = 27
When 8 is the solution
4(8)+5=27
32+5=27
37=27
When 3 is the solution
4(3)+5=27
12+5=27
17=27
Neither 8 nor 3 is the solution to the equation because 8 gives a higher calories in the granola bite and 3 gives a lower calories in the granola bite.
3. Solution to the equation
4c + 5 = 27
4c= 27-5
4c = 22
Divide both sides by 4
c=22/4
=5 2/4
=5 1/2
The solution to the equation is 5 1/2
