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?

Answer 1

To find the number of calories per serving from the yogurt used in the recipe, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Calculate the calories in 1/3 of the yogurt container:

   • Each container has 150 calories.
   • If you use 1/3 of the container, the calories from the yogurt used would be: \[ \text{Calories from yogurt} = \frac{1}{3} \times 150 = 50 \text{ calories} \]

2. Calculate total calories for the recipe: If the recipe only uses the yogurt for calories and makes 4 servings, the total calories in the recipe is 50 calories (from the yogurt).

3. Calculate calories per serving: Now divide the total calories by the number of servings: \[ \text{Calories per serving} = \frac{50 \text{ calories}}{4} = 12.5 \text{ calories per serving} \]

So the calculations you would use are:

1. \(\frac{1}{3} \times 150 = 50\) (total calories from yogurt in the recipe)
2. \(\frac{50}{4} = 12.5\) (calories per serving)

Therefore, the answer is 12.5 calories per serving.
