A recipe calls for 1/3 container of yogurt. Each container of yogurt has 150 calories. The recipe makes 4 servings. Which set of calculations would give the correct number of calories per serving?
1/3 x 150x4
1/3 x 150 divided by 4
1/3 x 150 divided by 1/4
1/3 divided by 150 divided by 4
The correct set of calculations would be 1/3 x 150 divided by 4.
The correct set of calculations would be:
1/3 x 150 x 4
This calculation represents taking 1/3 of a container of yogurt, which has 150 calories, and multiplying it by 4 to represent the entire recipe. This will give you the total number of calories.
To find the correct number of calories per serving, you need to multiply the number of calories in 1/3 container of yogurt by the number of servings in the recipe, and then divide by the fraction representing the amount of yogurt used in the recipe.
The set of calculations that would give the correct number of calories per serving is:
1/3 x 150 x 4
Explanation:
1. 1/3 represents the fraction of a container of yogurt used in the recipe.
2. 150 calories is the number of calories in one container of yogurt.
3. 4 is the number of servings in the recipe.
When you perform the calculation 1/3 x 150 x 4, you first multiply 1/3 with 150, which gives you the amount of calories in 1/3 of a container of yogurt.
Then, you multiply that result by 4, to account for the number of servings in the recipe.
This will give you the total number of calories in the recipe.
For example, if we perform the calculation:
1/3 x 150 x 4 = 50 x 4 = 200
The correct number of calories per serving would be 200 calories.
