Question

Use the nutrition label to answer the following questions.

16.How much energy is contained in
the six-cookie serving size
recommended on the label?

17.How much energy in joules is provided by eating
six cookies? (1 cal = 4.184 J; ALSO: 1 Calorie = 1
kilocalorie)

Answer 1

six cookies?(1 cal _4.184 j; ALSO: 1 Calorie -1 kilocalorie)

Answer 2

16. The six-cookie serving size contains 1320 calories.

17. When converted to joules (1 cal = 4.184 J), it amounts to 5524.8 Joules, considering there are about 11 servings per container.

16. To determine the energy content in the six-cookie serving size, we start with the provided information. Each serving, consisting of 6 cookies and weighing 28g, contains 120 calories. Given that there are about 11 servings per container, we can calculate the total energy content in the entire package:

`\[ \text{Total energy content (calories)} = \text{Calories per serving} * \text{Number of servings per container} \]`

`\[ \text{Total energy content} = 120 \, \text{calories/serving} * 11 \, \text{servings} = 1320 \, \text{calories} \]`

17. Now, to convert calories to joules, we use the conversion factor:
`\(1 \, \text{cal} = 4.184 \, \text{Joules}\)`. Additionally, 1 Calorie (with a capital "C") is equivalent to 1 kilocalorie (kcal). Therefore, 1 Calorie = 4184 Joules.

`\[ \text{Total energy content (joules)} = \text{Total energy content (calories)} * 4.184 \, \text{Joules/calorie} \]`

`\[ \text{Total energy content (joules)} = 1320 \, \text{calories} * 4.184 \, \text{Joules/calorie} = 5524.8 \, \text{Joules} \]`
