Calculate the calories for a flour tortilla that contains 3 grams of fat, 2 grams of protein, and 17 grams of carbohydrate.

Answer: 103 calories

Explanation:

We know that carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram, protein contains 4 calories per gram, and fat contains 9 calories per gram.

Given : A flour tortilla contains : 3 grams of fat, 2 grams of protein, and 17 grams of carbohydrate.

calories in 3 grams of fat = 3 x 9 = 27 calories.

calories in 2 grams of protein = 2 x 4 = 8 calories.

calories in 17 grams of carbohydrate = 17 x 4 = 68 calories

Then, the total number of calories in flour tortilla will be

= calories in 3 grams of fat + calories in 2 grams of protein + calories in 17 grams of carbohydrate

= 27 + 8+68 calories.

=103 calories.

Hence, there are 103 calories for a flour tortilla that contains 3 grams of fat, 2 grams of protein, and 17 grams of carbohydrate.
