Question

The nutrition facts label on a container of dry roasted cashews indicates there are 161 calories in 28 grams. You eat 9 cashews totaling 12 grams. A. How many calories do you consume? B. How many cashews are in one serving?

Answer 1

Divide 161 by 28 to get calorie count for one gram, multiply that by 12 to work out how many calories you have eaten in the 9 cashews 161/28 = 5.75 5.75 x 12 = 69

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 161 calories in 28 grams. You eat 9 cashews totaling 12 grams.

We need to find out how many calories in 12 grams

For that we make a proportion

161*12 = 28x

1932 = 28x ( divide by 28 on both sides)

x = 69

hope this helped :)
