following the guidelines of the food and drug administration dale tries to eat at least 5 servings of fruit each day. For the first six days of one week, she had 4,5,4,5, 4, and 4 servings. How many servings of fruit should Dale eat on Saturday to average at least 5 sevings pers day for the week?
I won't get tired of thanking you for your genorosity. Thank you so much!
you will need the following to be true ...
(4+5+4+5+4+4+x)/7 = 5
26 + x = 35
x = 9
check, the average of 4,5,4,5,4,4, and 9 is
(4+5+4+5+4+4+9)/7 = 5
To calculate the number of servings Dale should eat on Saturday to average at least 5 servings per day for the week, we need to find the total number of servings Dale has consumed during the six days and subtract it from the total servings required for the week.
Total servings consumed in 6 days: 4 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 26 servings.
Minimum servings required for the week: 5 servings per day x 7 days = 35 servings.
Therefore, Dale should eat 35 - 26 = 9 servings of fruit on Saturday to average at least 5 servings per day for the week.
You're welcome! I'm here to help!
To find out how many servings Dale should eat on Saturday to average at least 5 servings per day for the week, we need to determine the total number of servings Dale has consumed so far and calculate the remaining servings required.
First, let's add up the number of servings Dale has eaten in the first six days: 4 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 26 servings.
Since there are seven days in a week, Dale needs to eat a total of 7 x 5 = 35 servings for the entire week.
To calculate how many servings Dale should eat on Saturday, we subtract the total servings already consumed (26) from the desired total servings (35): 35 - 26 = 9 servings.
Therefore, Dale should eat 9 servings of fruit on Saturday to average at least 5 servings per day for the week.
Remember, it's important to follow the guidelines of the Food and Drug Administration and consume a balanced diet that includes an adequate number of servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
