Question

Based on her recipe, Elena knows that 5 servings of granola have 1,750 calories.

1. If she eats 2 servings of granola, how many calories does she eat?

calories

2. If she wants to eat 1050 calories of granola, how many servings should she eat

servings

3. Write an equation that will give us the number of calories (c) from the number of servings (s) eaten.

Answer 1

1. 700 calories

2. 3 servings

3. c = 350s

Explanation:

1. 5 servings = 1,750 calories

divide by 5 on both sides

1 serving = 350 calories

multiply both sides by 2

2 servings = 700 calories

2. 1 serving = 350 calories

1050 calories = 350 calories X 3

3 servings = 1,050 calories

3. 1 serving = 350 calories

# of calories = 350 per serving

c = 350s
