180 calories
360 calories
540 calories
90 calories

Explanation:

Step1: Find serving size

From the label, the serving size is clearly stated as \(1/3\) cup.

Step2: Calculate calories for 1 cup

Since 1 serving (\(1/3\) cup) has 180 calories. Let \(x\) be the calories in 1 cup. We set up a proportion: \(\frac{180}{1/3}=\frac{x}{1}\). Cross - multiply gives \(x = 180\times3=540\) calories.

Answer:

1. C. \(1/3\) cup
2. C. 540 calories
