Question

how many cal come from fat if a serving of garbonzo beans contains 1.5 g of fat?
conversions
carbohydrate 1.0 g = 4.0 cal
protein 1.0 g = 4.0 cal
fat 1.0 g = 9.0 cal
select 2 correct answers
select 2 correct answer(s)
(1.5 g)(4.0 cal/g) = 6.0 cal
(9.0 cal/g)(1.5 g) = 13.5 cal
(1.5 g)(9.0 cal/g) = 13.5 cal
(4.0 cal/g)(1.5 g) = 6.0 cal

Explanation:

Step1: Identify conversion factor

We know that 1.0 g of fat = 9.0 CAL.

Step2: Calculate calories from fat

To find the calories from 1.5 g of fat, we multiply the mass of fat (1.5 g) by the conversion factor (9.0 CAL/g). So, $(1.5\ g)\times(9.0\ CAL/g)=13.5\ CAL$. Also, $(9.0\ CAL/g)\times(1.5\ g)=13.5\ CAL$ is the same calculation just with the factors in a different order.

Answer:

B. $(9.0\ CAL/g)(1.5\ g)=13.5\ CAL$, C. $(1.5\ g)(9.0\ CAL/g)=13.5\ CAL$
