If there are 560 calories in 8 ounces of meat, how many calories are in 3 ounces of meat?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Set up a proportion:

560 calories/8 ounces = x/3 ounces

560/8 = x/3

Cross multiply and solve for x as I showed you in the last problem.

You are welcome.

Is it 0.04 and some other decimals
I did it like this 560x/560=24/560
and got x=0.042857143

Answered by Ms. Sue
Does your answer make sense to you?

Cross multiply
8x = 560 * 3

Solve for x
