Question

Erica works for a food distributor. She needs to add labels to all the food packages. The labels need to include the number of calories from fat. Each gram of fat has 9 calories. She enters the fat grams in cell A12. What formula should she use to calculate how many calories are from fat?

Responses

=A12+9
=A12+9

=A12/9
=A12/9

=9/A12
=9/A12

=9*A12
=9*A12

Answer 1

To calculate the number of calories from fat based on the number of fat grams (where each gram of fat contains 9 calories), Erica should use the formula that multiplies the fat grams by 9.

The correct formula is:

**=9*A12**

This formula multiplies the value in cell A12 (the fat grams) by 9 to give the total calories from fat.
