Question

For a luncheon, Andre made 5 cups of tuna salad, 2 cups of chicken salad, and 3 cups of egg salad. What is the total number of servings Andre made for all three types of salad?

Answer 1

27 servings

Explanation:

You must calculate the number of servings for each type of food and then add them. To calculate the number of servings, divide the amount of each food by the size of its serving.

Tuna: 5 / 1/2 = 5 * 2 = 10 servings

Chicken Salad: 2 / 1/4 = 2 * 4 = 8 servings

Egg salad: 3 / 1/3 = 3 * 3 = 9 servings

Total number of servings = 10 + 8 + 9 = 27

Answer: 27 servings
