To analyze the situation, let's first summarize the information we have:
- Leena consumes 400 calories at breakfast.
- She consumes 350 calories at lunch.
- She consumes \( \frac{2}{3} \) of her daily calories at dinner, which we denote as \( x \) (the calories consumed at dinner).
Now we can calculate the total daily calorie consumption:
\[ \text{Total calories} = \text{breakfast} + \text{lunch} + \text{dinner} = 400 + 350 + x \]
If she consumes \( \frac{2}{3} \) of her daily calories at dinner, we can express this as:
\[ x = \frac{2}{3} \times (\text{Total calories}) = \frac{2}{3} (400 + 350 + x) \]
This leads to the equation:
\[ x = \frac{2}{3}(750 + x) \]
By solving this equation, we can find the value of \( x \) (the calories consumed at dinner).
Now let's evaluate the provided statements:
-
Leena consumed 1,500 calories at dinner.
- This is not true, as we will find out \( x \) doesn't equal 1,500.
-
The equation \( \frac{2}{3} (x + 400 + 350) = x \) can be used to model the situation.
- This equation is incorrect in its form because it does not correctly represent the relationship. The left side should equal the total calories, not just \( x \).
-
Leena consumed 500 calories at dinner.
- We will find \( x \) to see if this is true. This might be a possible value, but we need to calculate it first.
-
The equation \( \frac{2}{3} (x) = x (400 + 300) \) can be used to model the situation.
- This equation is incorrect, as it misrepresents the relationship between the daily total calories and dinner.
-
Leena consumed 1,000 calories at dinner.
- Again, we need to calculate the value of \( x \) to verify.
-
The equation \( \frac{2}{3} x (x + 400 + 350) = x \) can be used to model the situation.
- This equation is incorrectly modeled; it introduces \( x \) incorrectly on both sides.
Now calculating \( x \):
-
Start with the equation we derived before: \[ x = \frac{2}{3} (750 + x) \]
Simplifying: \[ x = 500 + \frac{2}{3} x \]
Rearranging gives: \[ x - \frac{2}{3} x = 500 \]
Simplifying the left side: \[ \frac{1}{3} x = 500 \Rightarrow x = 1500. \]
This indicates that she consumed 1,500 calories at dinner.
Now let's summarize the statements once again with our \( x \) calculated:
- Leena consumed 1,500 calories at dinner. (True)
- The equation \( \frac{2}{3} (x + 400 + 350) = x \) can be used to model the situation. (False)
- Leena consumed 500 calories at dinner. (False)
- The equation \( \frac{2}{3} (x) = x(400 + 300) \) can be used to model the situation. (False)
- Leena consumed 1,000 calories at dinner. (False)
- The equation \( \frac{2}{3} x (400 + 300) = x \) can be used to model the situation. (False)
So, the only statement that is true is the first:
- Leena consumed 1,500 calories at dinner.
