<PRE><B>Question 348290</B>
The nutrition information on the cereal box says that a 1/3 cup serving provides 140 calories and 6 grams of fiber. 
At that rate find how many calories and grams of fiber are in 1/2 cup serving..
(1/3)x = 1/2
x = (1/2)/(1/3) = 3/2 = 1.5
---
There are 1.5 of those 1/3 cups in 1/2 cup.
----
Calories: 1.5(140) = 210 calories
Fiber: 1.5(6) = 9 grams of fiber
