Tara is making dinner for 9 people. She mixes 1 1/4 kilograms of rice with 500grams of vegetables and 410 grams of meat. If all of the food is split evenly among the diners,what is the size of each serving?

Answer 1

240 grams

Explanation:

Tara uses:

• 
  `1 (1)/(4)\ kg=1 \ kg\ 250 \ g=1250\ g` of rice
• 500 g of vegatables
• 410 g of meat

In total, Tara uses

`1250+500+410=2160\ g` of ingredients.

She is making dinner for 9 people, so the weight of each serving is

`2160:9=240\ g`
