Question

Dale Rodgers had the following for dinner: 2 pork chops, 1/2 cup broccoli, and one baked potato. How many calories did his meal have? 300 455 430 405

Answer 1

The answer is 430.

Explanation:

On the chart given with the question (which was not posted),

2 pork chops = 260 (on the chart the individual pork chop is 130)

1/2 broccoli = 25

1 baked potato = 145

Now you simply add the numbers together!

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The closest option is C. 430, but of course this estimation depends of the size of the serving, specially for the chops and the potato.

Explanation:

Let's calculate the number of calories of this meal:

A. 2 pork chops: We could assume 145 calories in a 3-ounce serving, so we have 145 * 2 = 290

B. 1 baked potato: We could assume 130 in a baked small potato (around 130 grams)

C. 1/2 cup of broccoli: We could assume 15 calories

Then the total estimation of calories is:

290 + 130 + 15 = 435

The closest option is C. 430, but of course this estimation depends of the size of the serving, specially for the chops and the potato.
