Question

hydrates. How many total calories does Sandra get from both fat and carbohydratesSandra eats about 2000 calories per day with LaTeX: \frac{1}{4}1 4 of her calories from fat and LaTeX: \frac{1}{5}1 5 from carbohydrates. How many total calories does Sandra get from both fat and carbohydrates

Answer 1

Answer:

Calories from both fat and carbohydrates = 900 calories/day

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of calories eaten by Sandra per day = 2000 calories/day

Calories from fat = $\frac{1}{4}$ of the total number of calories per day

OR

Calories from fat = $\frac{1}{4}\times 2000 = 500\ calories/day$

Calories from carbohydrates = $\frac{1}{5}$ of the total number of calories per day

OR

Calories from carbohydrates = $\frac{1}{5}\times 2000 = 400\ calories/day$

To find the total number of calories from both fat and carbohydrates, we need to add the calories from fat and calories from carbohydrates as calculated above.

Calories from both fat and carbohydrates = Calories from fat + Calories from carbohydrates = 500 + 400 = 900 calories/day
