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.
