Question

a peanut butter and jelly sandwich contains 9.00 g of fat, 6.00 g of protein, and 25.0 g of carbohydrate. How many calories does this sandwich provide?

Answer 1

Answer:

205 calories.

Explanation:

According to the USDA, "Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram." 9 grams of fat at 9 calories per equals 81 calories + 6 grams of protein at 4 calories per gram which equals 24 calories + 25 grams of carbohydrate at 4 calories per gram which is equal to 100 calories.

Total that all up and you get 81 cal + 24 cal + 100 cal=205 calories.

I don't know what kind of course this is for, but if they are incredibly picky, what we refer to as "calories" are actually kilocalories, which are equal to one thousand "real" calories each. However, I'm very confident that the correct answer is 205 calories.
