/point) 1: The food bank has 110.9 pounds or 1,774.4 ounces of chicken. To the
nearest
whole number, how many servings of chicken does this provide? Show your work

The total number of servings of chicken the food bank can provide = 70 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information from the table are;

The number of chicken contained in the main course of a serving of food = 2

The mass of each chicken served by the food bank = 12.6 oz

The quantity of chicken the food bank has = 110.9 pounds (1,774.4 ounces of chicken)

Therefore we have;

The mass of chicken per serving = 2 × 12.6 = 25.2 oz/serving

The total number of servings of chicken the food bank can provide = (The quantity of chicken the food bank has)/(The mass of chicken per serving)

∴ The total number of servings of chicken the food bank can provide = (1,774.4 oz)/(25.2 oz/serving) ≈ 70.413

Given that the servings are in whole numbers, we have;

The total number of servings of chicken the food bank can provide = 70 servings, to the nearest whole number.
