1 answer

To find the number of calories per serving, you should first calculate the total calories from the yogurt used in the recipe and then divide that by the number of servings.

  1. Calculate the total calories from the yogurt:

    • Each container has 150 calories, and the recipe calls for 1/3 of a container: \[ \text{Total calories} = \left(\frac{1}{3} \times 150\right) = 50 \text{ calories} \]
  2. Since the recipe makes 4 servings, you divide the total calories by the number of servings: \[ \text{Calories per serving} = \frac{50}{4} = 12.5 \text{ calories} \]

From the options provided, the correct calculations to find the number of calories per serving is:

Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction times 150 divided by 4

This corresponds to the calculation: \[ \frac{1}{3} \times 150 \div 4 \]
