Question

Making smoothies uses 8.5 ounces of yogurt, 16 ounces of fruit, 4.5 ounces of ice and 1 ounce of honey blended and divided into 4 equal servings
How many ounces were in each serving

Answer 1

To find the total amount of the smoothie blend, you can add up all the ingredients:

- Yogurt: 8.5 ounces
- Fruit: 16 ounces
- Ice: 4.5 ounces
- Honey: 1 ounce

Now sum them up:

\[
8.5 + 16 + 4.5 + 1 = 30 \text{ ounces}
\]

Next, divide the total amount by the number of servings (4) to find the amount per serving:

\[
\frac{30}{4} = 7.5 \text{ ounces}
\]

Therefore, each serving contains **7.5 ounces**.
