The calorie count of a serving of food can be computed based on its composition of​ carbohydrate, fat, and protein. The calorie count C for a serving of food can be computed using the formula C=3h+11f+5​p, where h is the number of grams of carbohydrate contained in the​ serving, f is the number of grams of fat contained in the​ serving, and p is the number of grams of protein contained in the serving. Solve this formula for​ f, the number of grams of fat contained in a serving of food.

Answer:

  • f = (C - 3h - 5p)/11

Explanation:

The formula is:

  • C = 3h + 11f + 5p

To solve for f, first isolate f:

  • 11f = C - 3h - 5p

Divide both sides by 11:

  • f = (C - 3h - 5p)/11
