Answer 2

Given,

Each box has = 16 servings

Each serving contains = 4 cookies

Weight of the box of cookies = ½ kilogram

To find,

Weight of each cookie.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Now, we have to calculate the total number of cookies in a box.

Total number of cookies in a box = Number of servings × Number of cookies in each serving = 16×4 = 64

Now,

64 cookies weigh = ½ kilogram

64 cookie weigh = 500 grams [1000 grams = 1 kg ; 500 grams = ½ kg]

1 cookie weighs = (500/64) grams

1 cookie weighs = 7¹³/₁₆ grams

Or,

64 cookies weigh = ½ kilogram

1 cookie weighs = 1/(64×2) kilogram

1 cookie weighs = ¹/₁₂₈ kilogram

Hence, weight of each cookie is 7¹³/₁₆ grams, or , ¹/₁₂₈ kilogram
