Problem 3
Convert 3,750 little-c calories (chemistry calories) into the kilocalories that would appear on a nutrition label. What is the correct value?
A
3.75 kcal (kilocalories), which nutrition labels would report as approximately 4 kcal if rounded.
B
375 kcal (because you multiply by 100 to account for label units that differ from chemists' units).
C
37.5 kcal (reflecting a conversion factor of 100 that some labeling systems erroneously use).
D
0.375 kcal (because kilocalories are 10 times larger than little-c calories in some conventions).
