c. 348 grams of carbohydrate, 76 grams of protein, 207 grams of fat
d. 75 grams of carbohydrate, 33 grams of protein, 21 grams of fat

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate carb calories

Calories from carb = $630 \times 0.55 = 346.5$

Step2: Convert to carb grams

Carb grams = $\frac{346.5}{4} = 86.625 \approx 87$

Step3: Calculate protein calories

Calories from protein = $630 \times 0.12 = 75.6$

Step4: Convert to protein grams

Protein grams = $\frac{75.6}{4} = 18.9 \approx 19$

Step5: Calculate fat calories

Calories from fat = $630 \times 0.33 = 207.9$

Step6: Convert to fat grams

Fat grams = $\frac{207.9}{9} = 23.1 \approx 23$

Answer:

a. 87 grams of carbohydrate, 19 grams of protein, 23 grams of fat
