Answer:
An equation that shows the number of servings, n, in terms of the number of calories, c.
Calories(c) = Number of servings in grams(g) × The number of calories that a particular nutrient gives in calories per gram (Calories/gram).
Step-by-step explanation:
Calories is amount or quantity of energy which is obtainable and measurable per gram from a particular nutrient when it is injested. For example, Protein gives us 4 calories per gram, Carbohydrates gives us 4 calories per gram while from fats we have for 1 gram , we have 9 calories.
Servings can be defined as the instrument that is used to measure or a particular measurement of the amount of food we eat.
Examples of servings are: a cup, one tablespoon, e.t.c.
Servings can also be measured in grams from a weighing balance.
Therefore, an equation that shows the number of servings, n, in terms of the number of calories, c. is given as:
C = Number of servings in grams × the number of calories that a particular nutrient gives in calories per gram
For example, let us assume that tyler consumes 30 grams of rice, since rice is a carbohydrate, it is known that carbohydrate gives us 4 calories per gram
Therefore, Number of calories consumed by Tyler is = 30 grams × 4 calories per gram(calories/gram)
Number of calories = 120 calories.
