Explanation:

Step1: Determine the calories per serving

From the label, the calories per serving ($\frac{1}{3}$ cup) is 180 calories.

Step2: Calculate calories for 1 cup

Since 1 cup is 3 times $\frac{1}{3}$ cup. So we multiply the calories per $\frac{1}{3}$ cup by 3.
Let $x$ be the calories in 1 cup. Using the proportion $x = 180\times3$.
$$x= 540$$

Answer:

1. $\frac{1}{3}$ cup; 16. 540 calories
