Answer 1

Given Information :

If chicken had 30 gm's of total carbohydrates,10 gm's fiber, and 5 gms of sugar.

Remember ​​​​​​:

1gm of carbohydrate gives 4 calories.

• 30gms of carbohydrate gives 30 × 4 calories.

= 120 calories.

• 5 gms of sugar

Sugar is a form of carbohydrate.Hence we need to calculate the calories obtained by 5 gms of sugar.

1 gm of sugar yields 4 calorie.

5 gms of sugar gives 5 × 4 calories.

= 20 calories.

Altogether 140 calories come from carbohydrates.
