Question

question 4 of 18 (1 point) | question attempt: 1 of 3 report the energy absorbed in calories. \\( 4.77 \times 10^4 \\) cal part: 1 / 2 part 2 of 2 report the energy absorbed in kilocalories. \\( \square \\) kcal

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that \( 1\ \text{kcal} = 1000\ \text{cal} \), so to convert calories to kilocalories, we divide the number of calories by \( 1000 \) (or multiply by \( 10^{-3} \)).

Step2: Convert the given energy

The given energy is \( 4.77\times 10^{4}\ \text{cal} \). To convert to kcal, we do the following calculation:
\[
\frac{4.77\times 10^{4}\ \text{cal}}{1000\ \text{cal/kcal}} = 4.77\times 10^{4 - 3}\ \text{kcal}=4.77\times 10^{1}\ \text{kcal} = 47.7\ \text{kcal}
\]

Answer:

\( 47.7 \)
