Question

if there are 300 calories in 100 g of a certain food, how many calories are there in a 30 g portion of food​

Answer 1

Answer:

90 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Calories : quantity of food

there are 300 calories in 100 g of a certain food

300 calories : 100 g food

how many calories are there in a 30 g portion of food​

Let x = number of calories

x calories : 30 g food

Equate both ratios

300 calories : 100 g food = x calories : 30 g food

300/100 = x/30

300 * 30 = 100 * x

9000 = 100x

x = 9000/100

x = 90

x = number of calories = 90 calories
