Answer:

b. 48

Explanation:

160 pound body weight / 2.2 = 72.72g

72.72g x 10g of Carbohydrate (CHO) per kg bodyweight per day = 727.20g of CHO per day

Each carbohydrate serving contains 15g of CHO per day

Therefore divide the total CHO per day by the grams per serving size to get the number of servings:

727.2g / 15g per serving = 48.48g

At this point you can either round down to 48 servings (which I would do), or round up to 48.5 servings.

Hence, option b is correct.
