Question

The caloric density of foods is a useful tool when comparing calorie counts. The table shows typical serving sizes for several foods and the number of calories per serving. Complete the fourth column. Then use the final column to number the foods from the lowest caloric density to the highest. Round to the nearest calorie per 100 grams.

Answer 1

Answer:

Medium apple < Large hard boiled egg < raisins < cheddar cheese

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Cubic inch cheddar cheese ;

Cal per 100g = cal(c) / grams(g)

Cal per 100g = 69 / 17 = 4.0588cal/g

approximately 4.1cal/g

2. Large hard boiled egg;

Cal per 100g = cal(c) / grams(g)

Cal per 100g = 78 / 50 = 1.56cal/g, approximately 1.6cal/g.

3. Medium apple;

Cal per 100g = cal(c) / grams(g)

Cal per 100g = 72 / 138 = 0.52cal/g

4. Raisins;

Cal per 100g = cal(c) / grams(g)

Cal per 100g = 129 / 43 = 3cal/g

The foods with the lowest density to the highest is,

Medium apple < Large hard boiled egg < raisins < cheddar cheese
