Determine the total kilojoules in two tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter that contains 6 g of carbohydrate, 11 g of fat, and 9 g of protein.

We assume that carbohydrates and protein each have 4 kilocalories per gram, and that fat has 9 kilocalories per gram. Then the number of kilocalories in the peanut butter is ...

4(6 +9) +9(11) = 159 . . . . kilocalories

Each kilocalorie translates to 4.184 kilojoules, so the total is ...

(159 kCal)(4.184 kJ/kCal) = 665.256 kJ

2 Tbsp of crunchy peanut butter contains about 665 kJ of energy.

The number of kilojoules in two table spoons of crunchy peanut butter obtained by adding the amount of kilojoules in each food type is 673kJ

From the table given ; the amount of kilojoules per gram of each food type is :

Carbonhydrate __17
Fat ___________38
Protein ________17

I gram of Carbonhydrate = 17 kJ

6 grams of Carbonhydrate = (6 × 17) = 102 kJ

I gram of Fat = 38 kJ

11 grams of Carbonhydrate = (11 × 38) = 418 kJ

I gram of Protein = 17 kJ

9 grams of Carbonhydrate = (9 × 17) = 153 kJ

Therefore, the total kilojoules present is (102 + 408 + 153)kJ = 673 kJ
