Answer 1

The difference in calories between fat and carbohydrate is 180% - 100% = 80%.
8 grams of fat would have 8 grams x 80% = 6.4 times more calories than 8 grams of carbohydrate.
So, 8 grams of fat would have 8 grams x 180% = 14.4 times the calories of 8 grams of carbohydrate.

Therefore, the answer is C) 14.4.
