If there are 560 calories in 8 ounces of meat, how many calories are in 3 ounces of meat?
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.
Thank You
You are welcome.
Is it 0.04 and some other decimals
I did it like this 560x/560=24/560
and got x=0.042857143
Does your answer make sense to you?
Cross multiply
8x = 560 * 3
Solve for x

is it x=210
That makes more sense.
You're right.
ok thanks
To find out how many calories are in 3 ounces of meat, we can use a proportion to solve the problem.
First, we need to establish the relationship between the weight of the meat and the number of calories. In this case, we know that there are 560 calories in 8 ounces of meat.
Let's set up the proportion:
8 ounces of meat has 560 calories
3 ounces of meat has X calories
To solve for X, we can set up the following equation:
8/560 = 3/X
Now, we can cross-multiply and solve for X:
8X = 560 * 3
8X = 1680
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
X = 1680/8
X = 210
Therefore, there are 210 calories in 3 ounces of meat.
