Answer:
2 servings of Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby and 3 servings of Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert should be used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Gerber Product's Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby contains, in each serving, 60 calories and 11 grams of carbohydrates, while Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert contains, in each serving, 80 calories and 21 grams of carbohydrates, and you want to provide your child with 340 calories and 75 grams of carbohydrates, in order to how many servings of each you should use, the following calculation has to be made:
(80 x 5) + (60 x 0) --- (21 x 5) + (11 x 0) = 400 --- 105
(80 x 4) + (60 x 1) --- (21 x 4) + (11 x 1) = 380 --- 95
(80 x 3) + (60 x 2) --- (21 x 3) + (11 x 2) = 360 --- 85
(80 x 2) + (60 x 3) --- (21 x 2) + (11 x 3) = 340 --- 75
Therefore, 2 servings of Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby and 3 servings of Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert should be used.
