Question

food a contains 150 calories in a 3/4 serving. food b contains 250 calories in 2/3 serving. find a unit rate for both. which food contains fewer calories per serving

Answer 1

Now, let’s find the unit of the given numbers.
Food A = contains 150 calories in every ¾ serving
Food A
=> 150 / 3 = 50
=> 150 + 50 = 200 calories
=> 150 = ¾ calories and 50 = ¼ calories

Food B = contains 250 calories in every 2/3 of serving
Food B
=> 250 / 2 = 125
=> 250 – 125
=> 375 calories
=> 250 = 2/3 calories 125 = 1/3 calories
Thus, Food A has fewer calories.
