A recipe states that 5 servings of peanuts have 1,250 calories. How many calories is 2 servings of peanuts?

500 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitely the calories for 2 servings would be lesser than that of 5 servings

If 5 servings have 1250 calories,

then 2 servings will have a amount of calories

a= (2×1250) ÷5

a= 500 calories

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.

to be honest i don't know but i need points so
