Question

A 1-ounce serving of baked potato contains 45.3 calories,and a 1-ounce serving of chicken contains 22.6 calories Estimate to the nearest whole number how many calories are in a meal of 2One-fourth ounces of chicken and a 2One-third ounce baked potato

122 calories
134 calories
136 calories
150 calories

Answer 1

Calories in 2 1/4 ounces of chicken = (2.25 oz) x (22.6 cal/oz) = 50.85 calories (rounded to two decimal places)

Calories in 2 1/3 ounces of baked potato = (2.33 oz) x (45.3 cal/oz) = 105.45 calories (rounded to two decimal places)

Now we can add the two values to get the total calorie estimate:

Total calories = 50.85 + 105.45 = 156.3 calories

Rounding to the nearest whole number gives us:

156 calories

Or my calculations are wrong
