Question

Maeve’s family recipe for macaroni and cheese makes 4 servings of 310 calories each. Maeve decided to make 1 1/2 times the amount in the recipe. How many calories are in Maeve’s batch of macaroni and cheese?

Answer 1

Answer:

1,860 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with 4 servings of macaroni and cheese with 310 calories per serving. She made 1 1/2 times more of the 4 servings. 1 1/2 as a decimal is 1.5, and 1.5 times 4 is 6. With 310 calories per serving you get the problem 6 x 310 which equals 1,860. Therefore, there are 1,860 calories in Maeve's mac n' cheese
