calories. If she eats 2 servings of trail mix, how many calories does she eat?

1,386 calories

Answer 1

1,386 calories

Explanation:

• The 1,350 is not important- this is just the weight of the bag.
• This is a ratio problem, so we need to compare 9 and 6,237 to 2 and _.
• 9/2 = 4.5, so you would divide 6237/4.5. This is 1386 calories- the answer.
