Question

If there are 1200 calories in 8oz of hot fudge how many calories are in 3 oz

Answer 1

what we have to know is what fracion of 8 oz is 3 oz?

it's $\frac{3}{8}$.


now we multiply this by 1200:

$1200* \frac{3}{8}$.

i'll simplify by dividing by 2:

$600* \frac{3}{4}$.
$300* \frac{3}{2}$.
$150* \frac{3}{1}$.

which is 450. So, the answer is 450 calories!
