QuestionHow many Calories are in a snack with 175 kJ of energy?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The energy content of the snack is given as175 kJ. We need to convert this energy content from kilojoules (kJ) to Calories (Cal)
3. We know that1 Calorie (Cal) is approximately equal to4.184 kilojoules (kJ)

STEP 2

First, we need to set up the conversion from kilojoules to Calories. We can do this by dividing the energy content in kilojoules by the conversion factor.
$Calories = \frac{Energy\, in\, kJ}{Conversion\, factor}$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the energy content and the conversion factor to calculate the Calories.
$Calories = \frac{175\, kJ}{.184\, kJ/Cal}$

STEP 4

Calculate the Calories.
$Calories = \frac{175\, kJ}{4.184\, kJ/Cal} =41.8\, Cal$ The snack contains approximately41.8 Calories.
