Tara is making dinner for

people. She mixes
1
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
The total amount of food is:
1140g (rice) + 500g (vegetables) + 410g (meat) = 2050g
To find the size of each serving, we need to divide the total amount by the number of diners:
2050g รท 9 = 227.78g
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the size of each serving is:
228g
Therefore, the closest answer choice is D. 256 grams. However, this is not the exact answer. The exact answer is 228 grams.
To find the size of each serving, we need to add up the total weight of the rice, vegetables, and meat, and then divide it by the number of people.
The total weight of the rice is 1.14 kilograms, which is equal to 1140 grams (since 1 kilogram = 1000 grams).
The weight of the vegetables is 500 grams.
The weight of the meat is 410 grams.
Adding up all the weights, we have:
1140 grams (rice) + 500 grams (vegetables) + 410 grams (meat) = 2050 grams.
Now, we divide the total weight by the number of people (9):
2050 grams / 9 people = 227.78 grams.
Since we need to split the food evenly, we can round this to the nearest gram:
228 grams.
Therefore, the size of each serving is:
A. 240 grams (incorrect)
B. 244 grams (incorrect)
C. 250 grams (incorrect)
D. 256 grams (incorrect)
The correct answer is none of the above. The size of each serving is 228 grams.
