Question

The nutritional energy content (in Calories) present in 86g of broccoli with 2.6g of protein, 6g of carbohydrates, and 0.3g of fat is __________. Round your answer to the nearest 5. Do not include units in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

40 Cal

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Protein present in the broccoli = 2.6 g

Carbohydrates present in the broccoli = 6 g

Fat present in the broccoli = 0.3 g

Now,

We know,

Energy provided by protein and carbohydrates = 4 Cal / g

and,

Energy provided by Fats = 9 Cal / g

Therefore,

Total nutritional energy content = ∑(Amount × Energy provided)

= ( 2.6  × 4 ) + (6 × 4) + (0.3 × 9)

= 10.4 + 24 + 2.7

= 37.1 Cal    

rounding off the answer to nearest 5 ≈ 40 Cal
