How many calories do you consume?

there are 161 calories in 28 grams. You eat 9 cashews totaling 12 grams.

We need to find out how many calories in 12 grams

For that we make a proportion

\(\frac{calories}{grams} = \frac{calories}{grams}\)

\(\frac{161}{28} = \frac{x}{12}\)

161*12 = 28x

1932 = 28x ( divide by 28 on both sides)

x = 69

There are 69 calories in 12 grams
