Answer:
- steak: 1/2
- baked eggs: 2
- acorn squash: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s, b, a represent the numbers of servings of steak, baked eggs, and acorn squash, respectively. Then the equations we want to solve are ...
40s +20b +4a = 64 . . . . grams of protein
10s +2b +20a = 29 . . . . grams of carbohydrate
1s +20b +32a = 72.5 . . . milligrams of vitamin A
There are any number of calculators or web sites that will solve this system of equations for you. The solution is ...
s = 0.5
b = 2
a = 1
The dietitian should provide 1/2 serving of steak, 2 servings of baked eggs, and 1 serving of acorn squash.
