Answer 1

1. If the apple contains 20g of carbohydrates and 0.2g of fat, how much protein is in the apple ;

1g carbs = 4 cal

1g fat = 9 cal

Our apple has 20g carbs so, 20 * 4 = 80 , it has 0.2g fats so 0.2 * 9 = 1.8 , which totals to 80+1.8 = 81.8 calories in the apple is 84 so, 84 - 81.8 = 2.2

protein is 2.2 divided by 4 = 0.55g

so our answer is 0.5g
