Taking into account the rule of three, there are 109.72 calories in 4 tablespoons.
The rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.
That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three.
If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other) , the direct rule of three must be applied.
To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed, being a, b and c known data and x the variable to be calculated:
a ⇒ b
c ⇒ x
So: x=(c×b)÷a
In this case, you know that one tablespoon of chocolate syrup has 27.43 calories. To find out how many calories are in 4 tablespoons, you can apply the following rule of three:
1 tablespoon ⇒ 27.43 calories
4 tablespoons ⇒ x
Then: x=(4 tablespoons ×27.43 calories)÷1 tablespoon
x= 109.72 calories
Finally, there are 109.72 calories in 4 tablespoons.
