Answer:

1,008 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

504 calories in eight ounces

How many calories are there in one pound

1 pound = 16 ounces

504 calories = 8 ounces

x calories = 1 pound

Recall, 1 pound = 16 ounces

504 calories : 8 ounces = x calories : 16 ounces

504 / 8 = x / 16

Cross Multiply

504 * 16 = 8 * x

8,064 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8

x = 8,064 / 8

= 1,008

x = 1,008 calories

Therefore, there are 1,008 calories in one pound
