Answer: The amount of calories fat contain is 54 calories, carbohydrates contain is 60 calories and proteins contain is 16 calories.
Explanation:
As per the USDA:
Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram.
We are given:
Mass of fat in the soup serving = 6.0 g
Mass of carbohydrates in the soup serving = 15.0 g
Mass of protein in the soup serving = 4.0 g
Applying unitary method:
1 gram of fat provides 9 calories
So, 6.0 gram of fat will provide = [tex]\frac{9}{1}\times 6=54Cal[/tex]
1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories
So, 15.0 gram of carbohydrates will provide = [tex]\frac{4}{1}\times 15.0=60Cal[/tex]
1 gram of proteins provides 4 calories
So, 4.0 gram of fat will provide = [tex]\frac{4}{1}\times 4=16Cal[/tex]
Hence, the amount of calories fat contain is 54 calories, carbohydrates contain is 60 calories and proteins contain is 16 calories.
