To find out how many calories are in Maeve's batch of Mac and cheese, you need to calculate the total number of servings in her batch and then multiply it by the number of calories per serving.
First, let's find out the total number of servings in Maeve's batch. She decided to make 1 1/2 times the amount in the original recipe, which means she is making 1 + 1/2 times the original amount.
One and a half times the original amount can be written as 1.5 times the original amount. So if the original recipe makes 4 servings, then Maeve's batch will make 1.5 * 4 = 6 servings.
Now we know that Maeve's batch makes 6 servings. Each serving has 310 calories.
To find out the total number of calories in Maeve's batch, multiply the number of servings by the number of calories per serving:
Total calories = Number of servings * Calories per serving
Total calories = 6 * 310
Calculating this, Maeve's batch of Mac and cheese has a total of 1860 calories.
