Question

The first snack is 270 calories for 3 servings, and the second snack is 450 calories How many servings does the snack have to have in order to equivalent to the first snack?

Answer 1

5 servings

Explanation:

Given that:

For a particular first snack to be = 270 calories;

the servings = 3

Then, for the second snack, the calories = 450.

To estimate the servings for the second snack; we need to equate the first snack with the second snack.

Let y be the value of the unknown second snack

Then:

270 calories = 3 servings

450 calories = y servings

y servings = (450 calories × 3 servings) / 270 calories

y servings = 5 servings

Thus; the second snack needs to have 5 servings in order to be equivalent to the first snack
