The label on a ready-to-eat cereal box indicates that 1 cup contains 32 grams of carbohydrate, 4 grams of protein, and 2 grams of fat. how many kcal are there in two cups of this cereal?

Respuesta :

Energy given by carbohydrates present in one cup =[tex] 32 g * \frac{4 kcal}{1 g} [/tex] = 128 kcal

Energy given by proteins present in one cup = [tex] 4 g * \frac{4 kcal}{1 g} = 16 kcal [/tex]

Energy given by fat in one cup = [tex] 2 g * \frac{9 kcal}{1 g} = 18 kcal [/tex]

Total energy in one cup of cereal box = 128 kcal + 16 kcal + 18 kcal = 162 kcal

Energy present in two cups = [tex] 2 cups * \frac{162 kcal}{1 cup} *

= 324 kcal
