Answer 1

Taking into account the values showed for this food (image attached). It is required

5

Servings.

Explanation:

The total calcium (Cat) required is 1300 mg/day.

One serving of this food can have 260 mg.

First step is to suppose one day of calculation. t = 1 day.

Cat = (1300 mg/day)(1 day) = 1300 mg Calcium.

One single serving can have 260 mg Calcium (Cas). So, we need to calculate the amount of servings (N) required to complete 1300 mg.

Cat = Cas*N

N = Cat/Cas = 1300 mg/260mg

N = 5.

Finally amount of servings is five N = 5.
