Samuel Hanna · Answer 1

For this case, we have that the remaining percentage of food belongs to fats.

We have then that the percentage that belongs to fats is:

100 - 48 - 13 = 39%

Then, the amount of kilocalories from fats is:

(0.39) * (1120) = 436.8

Answer:

the meal has 436.8 kilocalories of fat
