Following the guideline of the food and drug administration. Dale tries to eat at least 5 servings of fruit each day.For the first six days of one week, she had 5,5,3,4,and 5 servings. How many servings of fruit should Dale eat on saturday to average at least 5 servings per day.
at an average of 5/day, she needs a total of 30 for the six days.
So far, she's had 22. Hope she's hungry on Saturday!
To find out how many servings of fruit Dale should eat on Saturday to average at least 5 servings per day, we need to determine the total number of servings of fruit consumed in the first six days.
First, add up the servings of fruit Dale had on the first six days:
5 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 22
Next, calculate the minimum number of servings of fruit Dale needs to eat in total for the entire week, based on the guideline of 5 servings per day:
5 servings/day * 7 days = 35 servings
To find out how many servings Dale needs to have on Saturday, subtract the total servings from the first six days from the minimum number of servings for the entire week:
35 servings - 22 servings = 13 servings
Therefore, Dale should eat at least 13 servings of fruit on Saturday to average at least 5 servings per day for the entire week.
