(a) calories per ounce,
(b) grams of fat per ounce,
(c) grams of carbohydrates per ounce,
(d) grams of protein per ounce​

Answer 1

The rate of (a) calories per ounce is 72 calories/ounce. The rate of (b) grams of fat per ounce is 3.87 grams/ounce. The rate of (c) grams of carbohydrates per ounce is 5.73 grams/ounce. The rate of (d) grams of protein per ounce is 3.33 grams/ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of (a) calories per ounce, we can divide the total number of calories (540) by the weight of the burger (7.5 ounces). So, the rate of calories per ounce is 72 calories/ounce.

To find the rate of (b) grams of fat per ounce, we can divide the total number of grams of fat (29) by the weight of the burger (7.5 ounces). So, the rate of grams of fat per ounce is 3.87 grams/ounce.

To find the rate of (c) grams of carbohydrates per ounce, we can divide the total number of grams of carbohydrates (43) by the weight of the burger (7.5 ounces). So, the rate of grams of carbohydrates per ounce is 5.73 grams/ounce.

To find the rate of (d) grams of protein per ounce, we can divide the total number of grams of protein (25) by the weight of the burger (7.5 ounces). So, the rate of grams of protein per ounce is 3.33 grams/ounce.
