Answer: 147.87 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of calories in 238.5 grams of this cereal be represented by x.

Based on the information given, we can form an equation as:

110/177.4 = x/238.5

Cross multiply

177.4 × x = 238.5 × 110

x = (238.5 × 110) / 177.4

x = 147.87

Therefore, there are 147.87 calories in 238.5 grams of this cereal.

================================================

Explanation:

Let's start off converting the mixed number 12 & 1/4 to an improper fraction.

$a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*c+b}{c}\\\\12 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{12*4+1}{4}\\\\12 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{49}{4}\\\\$

Do the same for the other mixed number 2 & 1/3.

$a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*c+b}{c}\\\\2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2*3+1}{3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}\\\\$

-----------------------

From here, we divide the two fractions. I converted them to improper fractions to make the division process easier.

$\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{49}{4} \times \frac{3}{7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{49\times 3}{4\times 7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7\times 7\times 3}{4\times 7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7\times 3}{4}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{21}{4}\\\\$
