Question

Food A contains 150 calories in 3/4 of a serving. Food B contains 250 calories in 2/3 of a serving. What is each unit rate? Which food has fewer calories per serving?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Food A:

\frac{150}{\frac{3}{4}}=150 \times \frac{4}{3} = 50 \times 4=200

The unit rate is 200 calories per serving.

Food B:

\frac{250}{\frac{2}{3}}=250 \times \frac{3}{2}=125 \times 3=375

The unit rate is 375 calories per serving.

Food A has fewer calories per serving.

Answer 2

Food A:

`(150)/((3)/(4))=150 * (4)/(3) = 50 * 4=200`
The unit rate is 200 calories per serving.

Food B:

`(250)/((2)/(3))=250 * (3)/(2)=125 * 3=375`
The unit rate is 375 calories per serving.

Food A has fewer calories per serving.
