Final answer:
The total amount of fat in the meal is 56 grams, and since one gram of fat provides nine calories, the meal provides 504 calories from fat.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the calories provided by fat in the meal, we multiply the amount of fat in grams by the number of calories per gram of fat. One gram of fat provides nine calories. The fried chicken has 40 g of fat, mashed potatoes with gravy have 6 g, coleslaw has 5 g, and the roll with butter has 5 g.
The total amount of fat in the meal is 40 + 6 + 5 + 5 = 56 grams of fat.
Therefore, the total calories from fat are 56 g × 9 calories/g = 504 calories.
The meal provides 504 calories from fat, calculated by totaling the grams of fat and multiplying by nine (the number of calories per gram of fat).
