ACSM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) — Question 1

If a food product had 250 kilocalories per serving, a recommended serving size of 5 ounces, and contained 10 servings per container, how many kilocalories would one consume if s/he ate of the container?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 625 kilocalories, which comes from multiplying the 250 kilocalories per serving by the 10 servings in the container (250 x 10 = 2500). However, since the question refers to consuming the entire container, the actual answer should be 625, indicating that the question has a logical flaw. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculations based on the servings provided.
