Answer 1

4. A gram of fat has about 9 calories, while a gram of carbohydrate or protein has about 4 calories.

So, for a slice of pumpkin bread with 3 gram of fat, 30 gram of carbohydrate and 4 gram of proteins will contain calories equal to:

= 3 x 9 + 30 x 4 + 4 x 4

= 27 + 120 + 16

= 163 Kcal.

Hence, answer is 163 Kcal.

5. Fat provided 27 Kcal out of 163 Kcals

so, (27/163) x 100

16.5 %

approx 17 %

Hence, correct option is 17%
