Question

If 8 ounces of canned pumpkin have 82 calories, how many calories are in one ounce?

Answer 1

This is a simple division question. If we know the calories for 8 ounces, we simply divide by 8 to find the amount in 1 ounce.

Explanation:

82 cal in 8 ounces, so the number of calories in 1 ounce is `1/8` of that.
`82/8=10 1/4 or 10.25 calories`
