Question

Stacie is a resident at your medical facility where you work. You are asked to chart the amount of solid food that she consumes. For the noon meal today she ate 1/2 of a 3-ounce serving of meatloaf, 3/4 of her 3-ounce serving of mashed potatoes, and 1/3 of a 2-ounce serving of green beans. How many ounces of solid food did Stacie consume?

Answer 1

Meatloaf consumed = 1/2 x 3 = 1.5 ounces
Mashed potatoes consumed = 3/4 x 3 = 2.25 ounces
Green beans consumed = 1/3 x 2 = 0.67 ounces
Total solid food = 1.5 + 2.25 + 0.67
= 4.42 ounces of solid food consumed
