The nutritional chart on the side of a box of a cereal states that there are 110 calories in a 1 and one fourth cup serving. How many calories are in 6 cups of the cereal?
** Can't figured this out. This is practice homework so help is allowed**
6/1.25=4.8
110*4.8= 528 calories
110cal./1.25cups = 88 cal./cup.
88cal./cup * 6cups = 528 cal.
To find the number of calories in 6 cups of cereal, you need to use the information provided on the nutritional chart.
Given that there are 110 calories in a 1 and one fourth cup serving, we can break it down into two parts:
Part 1: Find the number of calories in 1 cup.
Since 1 and one fourth cup is equal to 1 cup plus one-fourth cup, we divide the number of calories by this amount.
110 calories / 1 and one fourth cup = 110 calories / (1 cup + one-fourth cup)
Since one-fourth cup is equivalent to 1/4 cup, we can rewrite the division as:
110 calories / (1 cup + 1/4 cup) = 110 calories / (4/4 cups + 1/4 cup) = 110 calories / (5/4 cup)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
110 calories * (4/5 cup) = 88 calories per 1 cup
Therefore, there are 88 calories in 1 cup of the cereal.
Part 2: Calculate the number of calories in 6 cups using the value obtained from Part 1.
To find the calories in 6 cups, we multiply the calories in 1 cup by 6:
88 calories * 6 cups = 528 calories
So, there are 528 calories in 6 cups of the cereal.
