To determine how many calories are in 1 ounce based on the proportional relationship shown in your graph, we can analyze the points provided.

The dots you mentioned appear to indicate the following calories per certain ounces:

  • At 0 ounces: 0 calories
  • At 1 ounce: ?
  • At 2 ounces: 36 calories
  • At 3 ounces: 72 calories
  • At 4 ounces: 108 calories
  • At 5 ounces: 144 calories

From the data points, we can see that for every 36 calories, there are 2 ounces (as 36 calories correspond to 2 ounces), which can be simplified to find the calories per ounce.

Calculating it:

  • Calories for each ounce = Total calories / Total ounces
  • Calories for each ounce = 36 calories / 2 ounces = 18 calories per ounce.

Therefore, there are 18 calories in 1 ounce of soda.
