Respuesta :

Answer:

583 calories for the 10 ounce box

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem.  Put calories over ounces

350 calories        x calories

----------------  =  ------------------

6 ounces            10 ounces

Using cross products

350*10 = 6x

3500=6x

Divide by 6

3500/6 = 6x/6

583.333333(repeating) =x

Round to the nearest calorie

583 calories for the 10 ounce box
