Answer: 450 kcal
Step-by-step explanation:
So you know the food is 360 kcal per 1 cup
by setting up a proportion, you can relate the number of kcal to cups.
[tex]\frac{360 kcal}{1 cup} = \frac{?kcal}{(3/4 +1/2)cup} \\\\[/tex]
we can simplify the fraction to this:
[tex]\frac{360 kcal}{1 cup} = \frac{?kcal}{(5/4)cup} \\\\[/tex]
by cross multiplying you can solve the proportion
(360) * (5/4) = (?) * (1)
simplifying gets this:
450 = ?
so he ate 450 kcal total
