Answer:
128calories/cup
256calories
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Amount of calories = 96calories
Number of cups = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]cups
Unknown:
Unit rate(calories per cup) = ?
Number of calories in 2 cups = ?
Solution:
A. To find the unit rate;
Unit rate = [tex]\frac{amount of calories}{number of cups}[/tex]
Insert the parameters and solve;
Unit rate = [tex]\frac{96}{\frac{3}{4} }[/tex]
Unit rate = 96 x [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] = 128calories/cup
B. Number of calories in 2 cups;
Amount of calories = unit rate x number of cups
Amount of calories = 128calories/cup x 2cups
Amount of calories = 256calories
