Get a ruler in your hands. Measure things until you start to understand how a ruler works. Measure some stuff and figure out where the center is. Say you measure a book and it's 7/8" thick. You look at your ruler and see that every eighth is divided into two sixteenths, so obviously half of 7/8" is going to be 7/16". If you write that out you have 1/2 x 7/8 = 7/16. And you notice that 1/2 is divided into 2/4 and then into 4/8 and so on, so you can convert anything to anything by multiplying all the numbers on top and then all the numbers on bottom.

Other rulers are divided into 10 and 100 parts. But an inch is still an inch, so anything on one ruler can be translated to the other ruler. A half inch on one ruler is 5/10 or 50/100 on the other. An eighth inch is just 12.5 marks when you have 100 marks per inch. A metric ruler divides an inch into 25.4 parts, so a half inch would be 12.7 of those parts. Pretty simple, isn't it? Practice this a bit and people will think you went to wizard school.

You are given two rulers, one with 2.65 marks and one with 50 marks, and these two are equal. That is to say 50cal/2.65oz = 1. You can punch that into a calculator and get 18.8679453 calories per ounce. Multiply that by 2oz and you get 37.73584906 calories.

To get 26 calories you turn that fraction over: 2.65oz/50cal = 1 and multiply by 26 calories to get 1.378 ounces. That is pretty close to 1 3/4 ounces.
