Question

If there are 1,200 calories in 8oz of hot fudge, how many calories are in 3oz of hot fudge?

Answer 1

To find out how many calories are in 3oz of hot fudge, we can set up a proportion:

8oz of hot fudge has 1,200 calories.

Let "x" represent the number of calories in 3oz of hot fudge.

Then, we can set up the proportion as:

8oz / 1,200 calories = 3oz / x calories

Cross-multiplying, we get:

8oz * x calories = 3oz * 1,200 calories

8x = 3 * 1,200

8x = 3,600

Dividing both sides by 8:

x = 450

Therefore, there are 450 calories in 3oz of hot fudge.
