Question

Shaun's doctor has recommended that he consume 200 calories of protein a day. Shaun consumed 176 calories of protein in one day. How much more protein does he need to consume to reach the required amount? (1 gram of protein = 4 calories)

Answer 1

Answer:  Shaun must consume 6 more g of protein to reach the required amount.

Explanation:

Given : Recommended amount of protein = 200 calories

Now 4 calories = 1 gram of protein

Thus 200 calories = $\frac{1}{4}\times 200=50$ g of protein.

Calories consumed per day by Shaun = 176 calories

176 calories =  $\frac{1}{4}\times 176=44$ g of protein.

Thus Shaun need to consume = (50-44) g = 6 of protein to reach the required amount.

Shaun must consume 6 more g of protein to reach the required amount.
