Question

Amy ate a sandwich made with two slices of whole grain bread, and each slice contained 22 grams of carbohydrates. How many calories from carbohydrates did she consume from the bread?

Answer 1

Amy consumed 180.4 Calories from the carbohydrates in the two slices of whole grain bread of her sandwich, based on the calculation of 44 grams of carbohydrates multiplied by 4.1 Calories per gram of carbohydrates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy consumed a sandwich made with two slices of whole grain bread. Each slice of bread contained 22 grams of carbohydrates. To calculate the calories from carbohydrates, we use the fact that each gram of carbohydrates provides an average of 4.1 Calories. Therefore, the calculation for total calories from carbohydrates in the bread would be:

1. Multiply the number of grams of carbohydrates per slice by the number of slices Amy ate: 22 grams × 2 = 44 grams of carbohydrates.
2. Multiply the total grams of carbohydrates by the number of Calories per gram: 44 grams × 4.1 Calories/gram = 180.4 Calories.

Thus, Amy consumed 180.4 Calories from carbohydrates in the bread of her sandwich.
