Thus, 7 oz of sausage contains 175 calories.
Given that,
12 oz. of sausage contains 300 calories.
how many calories w ould 7 oz, contain to be determined.
What is proportionality?
proportionality is defined as between two or more sets of values, and how these values are related to each other in the sense are they directly proportional or inversely proportional to each other.
Let the number of oz be x and the amount of calories is y
The number of oz is directly proportional to the number of calories.
y ∝ x
y = kx
Where k is the proportionality constant.
Putting the values of x and y in the above equation
where x = 12 and y = 300
300 = 12 k
k = 300 / 12
k = 25
Here,
y = 25 x
Now, the number of ozs is 7 i.e. x = 7
y = 7 * 25
y = 175
Thus, 7 oz sousage contains 175 calories.
