1
4
kilograms of rice with
500
grams of vegetables and
410
grams of meat. If all of the food is split evenly among the diners, what is the size of each serving?
A.
240
grams
B.
244
grams
C.
250
grams
D.
256
grams
First, we need to convert the rice from kilograms to grams:
1.14 kg = 1140 g
Then, we need to add up the total amount of food:
1140 g (rice) + 500 g (vegetables) + 410 g (meat) = 2050 g
To find the size of each serving, we need to divide the total amount of food by the number of people:
2050 g ÷ 9 = 227.78 g
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the size of each serving is 228 g.
Therefore, the closest answer choice is C. 250 grams.
To find the size of each serving, we need to divide the total amount of food by the number of diners.
First, let's convert the weight measurements to the same unit.
1. Convert kilograms to grams:
1.4 kilograms = 1,400 grams
Now, let's calculate the total amount of food:
Total = rice + vegetables + meat
Total = 1,400 grams + 500 grams + 410 grams
Total = 2,310 grams
Lastly, we divide the total by the number of diners:
Size of each serving = Total / Number of diners
Size of each serving = 2,310 grams / 9
Size of each serving ≈ 256 grams
Therefore, the size of each serving is approximately 256 grams.
The correct answer is (D) 256 grams.
