W e can use proportions for this question because it is directly proportional- when amount of milk increases, so does calories.
If x is equal to the amount of calories your child drank,
8 oz = 90 cal
28 oz = x cal
[tex]\frac{8 oz}{90cal} = \frac{28ox}{x cal}[/tex]
Cross multiply.
8x= 28*90
8x = 2520
Divide both sides by 8 to isolate the x
x = 315 cal
You child consumed 315 cal.
Overbearing mother checking how many calories your child drank- the question is hilarious. But proportions are cool.
28÷8=3.5 3.5×90=315 You have to divide the number of calories your child drinks by the number of calories in a glass. Them multiply that by the number of calories your child drinks.
