where is the answer
To find the number of calories per serving from the yogurt used in the recipe, follow these steps:
-
Determine the calories in 1/3 of the yogurt container:
- Since one container of yogurt has 150 calories, calculate the calories in 1/3 of the container: \[ \text{Calories in } \frac{1}{3} \text{ of yogurt} = \frac{1}{3} \times 150 = 50 \text{ calories} \]
-
Calculate the total calories in the recipe:
- The recipe makes 4 servings, and the total calories are from the yogurt only in this case. Since only yogurt is mentioned, we will just use the yogurt calories:
- Total calories in the recipe = 50 calories from yogurt (assuming no other ingredients are counted here).
-
Calculate the calories per serving:
- Divide the total number of calories by the number of servings: \[ \text{Calories per serving} = \frac{50}{4} = 12.5 \text{ calories} \]
So, the number of calories per serving from the yogurt in this recipe is 12.5 calories.
