Question

Marcie cooked dinner for herself. the original recipe has a serving size of 3 and requires three and three sevenths pounds of chicken. how many pounds of chicken will be needed for a single serving?

Answer 1

A single serving will require one and one-seventh pounds of chicken.

Given: Serving size of 3 or 3 servings requires $3\frac{3}{7}$ pounds of chicken. To find the pounds of chicken needed for a single serving.

Let’s solve the given question.

3 servings require 3 3 / 7 pounds of chicken

= 3 servings require 24 / 7 pounds of chicken.

Therefore, one serving will require:

Multiplying the above statement by 1 / 3 we get:

1 / 3 * (3 servings require 24 / 7 pounds of chicken)

3 * 1 / 3 servings require 24 / 7 * 1 / 3 pounds of chicken.

1 serving requires 8 / 7 pounds of chicken or one serving will require $1\frac{1}{7}$ pounds of chicken.

Hence a single serving will require one and one-seventh pounds of chicken.
