A weight reduction regimen calls for a daily intake of 1400 kilocalories and 30 grams of fat. Approximately ______% of the total energy is provided by fat.

Respuesta :

Answer:

19%

Explanation:

It is known that a gram of fat contains 9 calories

Now; in 30 grams of fat; the number of calories will be: 30 × 9 =270 calories

The _____ percentage of the total energy from 1400 kcalories can now be determined as:

= [tex]\frac{270}{1400}[/tex]

= 0.19

= 19%

∴ Approximately 19% of the total energy is provided by fat.
