Question

a recipe calls for 1/3 of a 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
A 1/3 x 150 divided by 1/4
B 1/3 x 150 divided by 4
C 1/3 divided by 150 x 4
D 1/3 x 150 x 4

Answer 1

The correct set of calculations would be:

A) 1/3 x 150 divided by 1/4

This is because you first need to calculate the total amount of yogurt needed for the recipe, which is 1/3 of a container. Then you can calculate the total number of calories in that amount of yogurt, which is found by multiplying by the number of calories in one container of yogurt (150 calories). Finally, you need to divide this by the number of servings the recipe makes (4 servings) to get the number of calories per serving.
