A pint of premium ice cream can contain 1100 Calories. What mass of fat ,in grams and pounds, must be producedd in the body to store an extra 11 x 103 calories if the average number of calories for fat is 9.1 Calories/g

Respuesta :

Answer:

The mass of fat is 1,208.7912 grams

The mass of fat is 2.6649 pounds

Explanation:

Number of calories in 1 pint = 1100 Cal

Average number of calories for fat is 9.1 Calories/g

In 1 gram of fat there are 9.1 calories.

Then fat stored for 1 calorie will be:[tex]\frac{1}{9.1} g[/tex]

Fat stored for [tex]11\times 10^3[/tex] calories :

'[tex]11\times 10^3\times \frac{1}{9.1} g=1,208.7912 g[/tex]

1 g = 0.00220462 pounds

[tex]1,208.7912 g=1,208.7912\times 0.00220462 pounds=2.6649 pounds[/tex]
