Scale a nutrient amount by servings

Supplied materials

• Paper or a text document; all cases below are original fictional learning inputs.
• An adult may read aloud; drawing or spoken answers are valid. No personal health information or physical performance is required.
• The separate worked case gives gramsPerServing=4, servings=2. Multiply grams per serving by the modeled serving count. First identify the quantities and keep their units consistent. The calculation is 4*2=8 grams. That result answers this supplied planning question only. It does not establish what a real person did, diagnose a condition or prove physical skill. Compare the units with the question before accepting a number.
• Fictional case 1: gramsPerServing=3, servings=2. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
• Fictional case 2: gramsPerServing=4, servings=3. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
• Fictional case 3: gramsPerServing=5, servings=2. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
• Fictional case 4: gramsPerServing=2, servings=4. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
• Fictional case 5: gramsPerServing=6, servings=3. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
• Fictional case 6: gramsPerServing=7, servings=2. What is the modeled result using the stated method?

Learn the idea

A Nutrition Facts label usually reports nutrients for one serving. A package can hold several servings. Serving size describes the label reference and typical consumption; it is not a command about how much someone should eat.

For the supplied labels, multiply grams per serving by the number of servings in the modeled portion. Keep grams and servings distinct. Reading a whole-package amount requires the package’s serving count, not simply copying the per-serving number.

These labels are fictional arithmetic inputs. No eating, weighing food or personal calorie tracking is required. The result describes the supplied amount only; it does not prescribe a diet, judge a body or override an allergy plan.

1. Read or listen to the pretend story. Point to the details the question gives you.
2. Multiply grams per serving by the stated number of servings. Label the total in grams; do not copy a per-serving amount as the whole total.
3. Check your answer against the example. Say what matches and what you would change.
4. Try the practice questions, then the extra task. Drawing or spoken answers are welcome.

Take it further

Changed case: gramsPerServing=3, servings=4. Show the operation. Expected: 3*4=12 grams. Explain what the unit means and remember that this is a pretend calculation.
