Transcript text: If the serving size of an avocado is $1 / 3$ medium and contains 80 calories, how many calories are in $2 / 3$ of a medium avocado?
None of the above
140 calories
160 calories
240 calories
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the given information
The serving size of an avocado is \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a medium avocado, and it contains 80 calories.
Step 2: Determine the calories in \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a medium avocado
Since \( \frac{2}{3} \) is twice the serving size of \( \frac{1}{3} \), the number of calories will also be twice the given amount.
Step 3: Calculate the calories
Multiply the calories in one serving by 2:
\[
80 \times 2 = 160 \text{ calories}.
\]
