Tara is making dinner for
9
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
First, we need to convert all the units to the same measurement. Let's convert everything to grams:
- 1 1/4 kilograms of rice = 1,250 grams
- 500 grams of vegetables = 500 grams
- 410 grams of meat = 410 grams
Now we add them all up:
1,250 + 500 + 410 = 2,160 grams
To find the size of each serving, we divide the total amount by the number of people:
2,160 / 9 = 240 grams
Therefore, the answer is A. 240 grams.
To find the size of each serving, we need to divide the total weight of the food by the number of people:
Total weight of food = 1140 grams (rice) + 500 grams (vegetables) + 410 grams (meat) = 2050 grams
Number of people = 9
Size of each serving = Total weight of food / Number of people = 2050 grams / 9 = 227.78 grams
Therefore, the closest answer choice is B. 244 grams.
