the grams of fat in one avocado that has 435 kcal, 17 g of carbohydrate, and 7 g of protein
Express our answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
To find the grams of fat in one avocado, we need to subtract the calories from carbohydrates and protein from the total calories.
Total calories - Calories from carbohydrates - Calories from protein = Calories from fat
435 kcal - (17g x 4 kcal/g) - (7g x 4 kcal/g) = Calories from fat
435 kcal - 68 kcal - 28 kcal = Calories from fat
339 kcal = Calories from fat
To convert the calories from fat to grams, we divide by the energy density of fat, which is 9 kcal/g.
339 kcal / 9 kcal/g = 37.7 g
Therefore, there are approximately 37.7 grams of fat in one avocado.
To find the grams of fat in one avocado, we can start by subtracting the calories from carbohydrates and protein from the total calories.
Total calories - calories from carbohydrates - calories from protein = calories from fat
The calories per gram of fat is 9 kcal/g, so we can convert the calories from fat to grams by dividing by 9.
Given:
Total calories = 435 kcal
Carbohydrates = 17 g
Protein = 7 g
Calories per gram of fat = 9 kcal/g
First, let's find the calories from carbohydrates and protein:
Calories from carbohydrates = carbohydrates × 4 kcal/g
= 17 g × 4 kcal/g
= 68 kcal
Calories from protein = protein × 4 kcal/g
= 7 g × 4 kcal/g
= 28 kcal
Now let's find the calories from fat:
Calories from fat = Total calories - (Calories from carbohydrates + Calories from protein)
= 435 kcal - (68 kcal + 28 kcal)
= 339 kcal
Finally, convert the calories from fat to grams:
Grams of fat = Calories from fat / Calories per gram of fat
= 339 kcal / 9 kcal/g
≈ 37.67 g
Therefore, there are approximately 37.67 grams of fat in one avocado.
