If there are 560 calories in 8 ounces of meat, how many calories are in 3 ounces of meat?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Thank You

Answer 3

You are welcome.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

Does your answer make sense to you?
