Another math question!!!

  • (I flunked math in high school-- Sorry I feel like an idiot asking this!!)

    Okay, I need to figure out the calories in a 1/4th cup shredded cheese.
    The serving size on the back says that 1/3rd cup is 110.
    So how do I figure out how much is in 1/4th instead of 1/3rd?

    Thanks!
  • 3 X110 = 330 or 1 cup
    1/4 0f 330 = 82.5 calories
  • 1 cup = 330 cal
    330 divided by 4 = 82.5

    Or I am sure there is an algebraic equation, but I like my way of thinking better.

    1/3c = 100
    1/4c= x

    Solve for "c" in the first equation and then substitute "c" for "x" in the second.

    Which is exactly what you did
