goes in the green box?
a fruit salad recipe is given below.
use it to set up the unit cancellation.
15 servings
fruit salad - makes 10 servings
10 servings
2 apples
15 servings

Explanation:

Step1: Identify conversion factor structure

The recipe makes 10 servings (assumed standard for such problems). To convert 15 servings to apples, the conversion factor should have "10 servings" in the denominator to cancel the "servings" unit from the initial value.

Step2: Determine green box value

The green box is the denominator of the conversion factor, so it needs to be the unit matching the initial quantity (servings) to cancel out.

Answer:

10 servings
