Alexander, who weighs 174lb , decides to climb Mt. Krumpett, which is 5810m high. For his food supply, he decides to take nutrition bars. The label on the bars states that each 100-g bar contains 10g of fat, 40 g of protein, and 50 g of carbohydrates.

One gram of fat contains 9 Calories, whereas each gram of protein and carbohydrates contains 4 Calories.

Alexander wants to know exactly how many bars to pack in his backpack for the journey. To provide a margin of safety, he assumes that he will need as much energy for the return trip as for the uphill climb. How many bars should Alexander pack?

I calculated 4.4 bars but it said i was wrong>>>> thanks for the help

Nutrition facts Calories per gram
Fat 9
Protein 4
Carbohydrates 4
