To determine how many calories are in 1 ounce of soda based on the points provided on the graph, we can look at the coordinates of the plotted points.
From the points given:
- (0, 0): 0 ounces corresponds to 0 calories
- (3, 36): 3 ounces corresponds to 36 calories
- (6, 72): 6 ounces corresponds to 72 calories
- (9, 108): 9 ounces corresponds to 108 calories
- (12, 144): 12 ounces corresponds to 144 calories
We can calculate the number of calories per ounce by choosing one of these points. For instance, using the point (3, 36):
To find the calories per ounce: \[ \text{Calories per ounce} = \frac{36 \text{ calories}}{3 \text{ ounces}} = 12 \text{ calories per ounce} \]
This is confirmed by checking other points:
- For (6, 72): \[ \frac{72}{6} = 12 \text{ calories per ounce} \]
- For (9, 108): \[ \frac{108}{9} = 12 \text{ calories per ounce} \]
- For (12, 144): \[ \frac{144}{12} = 12 \text{ calories per ounce} \]
Thus, the relationship is consistent across all points.
Therefore, there are 12 calories in 1 ounce of soda.
