(Round to the nearest whole number)

Answer 1

281 servings

Explanation:

From the table attached,

We will apply the unitary method to solve this problem.

∵ 12.6 oz of chicken represents number of servings = 2

∴ 1 oz of chicken will represents number of servings =
`(2)/(12.6)`

∴ 1774.4 oz of chicken will make the total servings =
`(2)/(12.6)* 1774.4`

= 281.65

≈ 281 servings

Therefore, total number of servings provided = 281
