To find the total carbohydrates in 16.4 nutrition bars, you would follow these steps:

1. Convert the carbohydrates per bar into a whole number for multiplication. Since the nutritional information states there are 23.57 grams of carbohydrates per bar, you can represent it as 2357 (by removing the decimal for calculation).

2. Multiply the number of carbohydrates (2357) by the number of bars (16.4). In numerical terms, this is:
\[
2357 \times 16.4
\]

3. Perform the multiplication:
\[
2357 \times 16.4 = 38657.8
\]

4. Adjust for the decimal place you removed earlier: since the original carbohydrates had two decimal places (23.57), you will need to move the decimal point in your product (38657.8) two places to the left for a final result of:
\[
386.578 \text{ grams of carbohydrates}
\]

So, the explanation should be that the correct option is:

- **Multiply 2357 by 164 to get a product of 386548.**
- **Add the decimal places in the factors to find the decimal places in the product.**
- **There are 386.548 grams of carbohydrates.**

Thus, the best choice that matches this explanation is:

• Multiply 2357 by 164 to get a product of 386548.
• Add the decimal places in the factors to find the decimal places in the product.
• There are 386.548 grams of carbohydrates.
