Answer 1

To calculate the kilocalories in one tablespoon of vegetable oil, we can use the fact that fat has 9 kilocalories per gram.

Given that there are 11 grams of fat in one tablespoon of vegetable oil, we can multiply 11 grams by 9 kilocalories/gram to find the total kilocalories.

11 grams * 9 kilocalories/gram = 99 kilocalories

Therefore, there are 99 kilocalories in one tablespoon of vegetable oil.
