Question

A jumbo size 90 ounces drink at a certain gas station has 890-calories. How many calories are there in a 14 ounce drink

Answer 1

The number of calories in 14-ounces drink is 138.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amount of jumbo size drink = 90 ounces

Calories in jumbo size drink = 890-calories

Quantity of smaller drink = 14 ounces

We will use the proportions to solve the questions

$ounces: calories::ounces:calories$

Let x be the number of calories in the smaller drink

$90: 890::14:x\\\frac{90}{890} = \frac{14}{x}\\x = \frac{890*14}{90}\\x = \frac{12460}{90}\\x = 138.44$

The number of calories in 14-ounces drink is 138.44
