Question

Which of the following is the most reasonable estimate for the number of calories in one serving of milk

Answer 1

In 1% fat milk there is 103 calories in a 1 cup serving

Answer 2

The number of calories in one serving of milk should be 86 Calories/serving. It means between 80 and 90.

Explanation:

Let's suppose a milk composition similar to that of the attached image. We need to estimate the most reasonable of the number of calories in one serving of milk.

According to the information presented in the milk: The whole package will have 5 servings, and the whole package will aport 430 Calories.

Now, we need to calculate the number of calories per serving (C1), it is thus necessary to divide total calories (C) by the number of servings (S).

C1 = C/S

C1 = 430 calories / (5 servings)

C1 = 86 Calories/serving.

Finally, we can conclude that the number of calories in one serving of milk should be 86 Calories/serving. It means between 80 and 90.
