Question

3. Four chicken nuggets have 180 calories. How many calories are in 9 chicken

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

405 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we can create a proportion.

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

$\frac{180cal}{4}= \frac{xcal}{9}$

Cross multiply:

9 · 180 = 4 · x

1620 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 405 calories.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\mathrm{B.}$ 405 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

4 chicken nuggets = 180 calories

9 chicken nuggets = x

Cross multiplication.

4x = 180 × 9

4x = 1620

$\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{1620}{4}$

x = 405
