There are 567 calories in nine ounces of a certain ice cream. How many calories are there in three pounds?

Respuesta :

Before we start, we gotta acknowledge that one pound is 16 oz.

Okay, so to solve this we need to make a ratio. We know there are 567 calories for every 9 oz. That'll look like 567/9. And to compare this to pounds we have to convert those three pounds to ounces by multiplying: 3*16 = 48. So now we can grab that ratio and use cross multiplication to find the answer:

567/9 = x/48

9x = 567*48

9x = 27216

x = 3024

So there are 3024 calories in three pounds of the ice cream.
