STEP 1
Assumptions1. A cup of whole milk contains16.58 grams of carbohydrate,7.09 grams of fat, and1.89 grams of protein.
. The energy values for carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are4,9, and4 kilocalories per gram respectively.
3. We are asked to find the total energy content in kilocalories of3 cups of whole milk.
STEP 2
First, we need to calculate the energy content in one cup of milk. We can do this by multiplying the amount of each nutrient by its respective energy value.
Energycarbohydrate=CarbohydrateamounttimesEnergyvaluecarbohydrateEnergyfat=FatamounttimesEnergyvaluefatEnergyprotein=ProteinamounttimesEnergyvalueprotein
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the amount of each nutrient and their respective energy values to calculate the energy content from each nutrient.
Energycarbohydrate=16.58gramstimeskilocalories/gramEnergyfat=7.09gramstimes9kilocalories/gramEnergyprotein=1.89gramstimeskilocalories/gram
STEP 4
Calculate the energy content from each nutrient.
Energycarbohydrate=16.58gramstimes4kilocalories/gram=66.32kilocaloriesEnergyfat=7.09gramstimes9kilocalories/gram=63.81kilocaloriesEnergyprotein=1.89gramstimes4kilocalories/gram=7.56kilocalories
STEP 5
Now that we have the energy content from each nutrient, we can find the total energy content in one cup of milk. This is done by adding the energy content from each nutrient.
Totalenergy=Energycarbohydrate+Energyfat+Energyprotein
STEP 6
Plug in the values for the energy content from each nutrient to calculate the total energy content in one cup of milk.
Totalenergy=66.32kilocalories+63.81kilocalories+.56kilocalories
STEP 7
Calculate the total energy content in one cup of milk.
Totalenergy=66.32kilocalories+63.81kilocalories+7.56kilocalories=137.69kilocalories
STEP 8
Now that we have the total energy content in one cup of milk, we can find the total energy content in3 cups of milk. This is done by multiplying the total energy content in one cup of milk by3.
Totalenergy3cups=Totalenergy1cuptimes3
STEP 9
Plug in the value for the total energy content in one cup of milk to calculate the total energy content in3 cups of milk.
Totalenergy3cups=137.69kilocaloriestimes3
STEP 10
Calculate the total energy content in3 cups of milk.
Totalenergy3cups=137.69kilocaloriestimes3=413.07kilocaloriesThe total energy content in3 cups of whole milk is413.07 kilocalories.
