Aserving of soup contains 6.0 g of fat, 15.0 g of carbohydrates, and 4.0 g of protein. determine how many calories (cal) are contained in this serving.

The amount of calories fat contain is 54 calories, carbohydrates contain is 60 calories and proteins contain is 16 calories.

Explanation:

As per the USDA:

Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram.

We are given:

Mass of fat in the soup serving = 6.0 g

Mass of carbohydrates in the soup serving = 15.0 g

Mass of protein in the soup serving = 4.0 g

Applying unitary method:

1 gram of fat provides 9 calories

So, 6.0 gram of fat will provide =

1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories

So, 15.0 gram of carbohydrates will provide =

1 gram of proteins provides 4 calories

So, 4.0 gram of fat will provide =

Hence, the amount of calories fat contain is 54 calories, carbohydrates contain is 60 calories and proteins contain is 16 calories.
