Strawberries: The Steps Step 1: Find the number of servings per purchase unit from the FBG. Step 2: Determine the number of ¼-cup servings needed by age group. Step 3: Total the number of ¼-cup servings needed. Step 4: Divide the total number of ¼-cup servings needed (Step 3) by the number of ¼-cup servings in a pint (7.90). Step 5: Add the amount needed for the fruit cup for Day 2 to the answer in Step 4.

Children ages 1–2 = 20 ¼-cup servings • Children ages 3–5 = 10 ½-cup servings = 20 ¼-cup servings Strawberries: The Math Step 2: Determine the number of ¼-cup servings needed by age group. There are two ¼-cup servings in each ½-cup serving, so multiply the number of ½-cup servings by 2 to convert to ¼-cup servings. Conversion:10 ½-cup servings x 2 = 20 ¼-cup servings
Caregivers = 8 ½-cup servings = 16 ¼-cup servings Strawberries: The Math Step 2: Determine the number of ¼-cup servings needed by age group. There are two ¼-cup servings in each ½-cup serving, so multiply the number of ½-cup servings by 2 to convert to ¼-cup servings. Conversion:8 ½-cup servings x 2 = 16 ¼-cup servings

Strawberries: The Math Step 5: Add the amount needed for the fruit cup for Day 2 to the answer in Step 4. 1 pint for fruit cup + 8 pints = 9 pints Oak Street Child Care Center should Purchase 9 pints
Green Beans: The Math Step 1: Find the number of servings per purchase unit from the FBG. • Find “Beans, Green, canned” on page 2-15 of the FBG. • Select “No. 10 can” for “heated, drained vegetable.” • Columns 3 and 4 show there are 45.3 ¼-cup servings per No. 10 can.
Children ages 1–2 = 26 ⅛-cup servings = 13 ¼-cup servings Green Beans: The Math Step 2: Determine the number of ¼-cup servings needed by age group. A ⅛-cup serving is one-half of a ¼-cup serving, so divide the number of ⅛-cup servings by 2 to convert to ¼-cup servings. Conversion:26 ⅛-cup servings 2 = 13 ¼-cup servings
Children ages 3–5 = 10 ⅛-cup servings = 5 ¼-cup servings Green Beans: The Math Step 2: Determine the number of ¼-cup servings needed by age group. A ⅛-cup serving is one-half of a ¼-cup serving, so divide the number of ⅛-cup servings by 2 to convert to ¼-cup servings. Conversion:10 ⅛-cup servings 2 = 5 ¼-cup servings
Caregivers = 11 ½-cup servings = 22 ¼-cup servings Green Beans: The Math Step 2: Determine the number of ¼-cup servings needed by age group. There are two ¼-cup servings in each ½-cup serving, so multiply the number of ½-cup servings by 2 to convert to ¼-cup servings. Conversion:11 ½-cup servings x 2 = 22 ¼-cup servings
Green Beans: The Math Step 3: Total the number of ¼-cup servings needed. 13 + 5 + 22 = 40 ¼-cup servings Step 4: Divide the total number of ¼-cup servings needed (Step 3) by the number of ¼-cup servings in a No. 10 can (45.3). 40 45.3 = 0.88 or 1 No. 10 can (Always round up to the nearest whole number.)
