Question

A pint of premium ice cream can contain 1100 Calories. What mass of fat ,in grams and pounds, must be producedd in the body to store an extra 11 x 103 calories if the average number of calories for fat is 9.1 Calories/g

Answer 1

The mass of fat is 1,208.7912 grams

The mass of fat is 2.6649 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of calories in 1 pint = 1100 Cal

Average number of calories for fat is 9.1 Calories/g

In 1 gram of fat there are 9.1 calories.

Then fat stored for 1 calorie will be:
`(1)/(9.1) g`

Fat stored for
`11* 10^3` calories :

'
`11* 10^3* (1)/(9.1) g=1,208.7912 g`

1 g = 0.00220462 pounds

`1,208.7912 g=1,208.7912* 0.00220462 pounds=2.6649 pounds`
