Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Ounces and ranges from 0 to 15 in 3 unit increments. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 153 in 9 unit increments. The graph is titled Calories per Ounce. A line connects five points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the plotted points are (0 , 0), (3 , 36), (6 , 72), (9 , 108), and (12 , 144).
The proportional relationship between calories and ounces of soda is shown in the graph. How many calories are in 1 ounce? (1 point)
1 answer
The graph shows that for every 3 ounces of soda (x-axis), there are 36 calories (y-axis). This means that the ratio of calories to ounces is 36:3, or 12:1. Therefore, there are 12 calories in 1 ounce of soda.
