Question

1. look at the food label and answer the question. which serving size is a healthy decision based on daily caloric intake? 2 cups the whole container 3 cups ½ cup

Explanation:

Step1: Determine calories per serving

The label shows 245 calories per 1 - cup serving.

Step2: Calculate calories for each option

• For 2 cups: $245\times2 = 490$ calories.
• For the whole container (4 servings or 4 cups): $245\times4=980$ calories.
• For 3 cups: $245\times3 = 735$ calories.
• For $\frac{1}{2}$ cup: $245\times\frac{1}{2}=122.5$ calories.

A general daily - calorie intake is 2000 calories. A smaller serving size will contribute less to the daily calorie intake and is a healthier decision in terms of calorie control.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$ cup
