Question

A granola bite contains 27 calories. Most of the calories come from $$ grams of carbohydrates. The rest come from other ingredients. One gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories.

Answer 1

c = 5.5

Explanation:

c represents the grams of carbohydrates

27 is the total number of calories that are received by the granola bite.

4 is the number of calories from 1 gram of carbohydrates and

5 is the number of calories that are received from other ingredients.

Answer of Part a:

5 is the number of calories that are received from other ingredients.

Part b:

take left hand side (LHS) and put values of c = 8 and 3 one by one.

So, LHS becomes:

4 \times 8 + 5 = 37 4 \

times 3 + 5 = 17

So, Priya is correct that neither 8 or 3 could be solution.

Part c:

So, solution to the equation is: c = 5.5
