A. Provide fuel for the body in the form of energy

Explanation

Carbohydrates are one of the main sources of energy for the body. When consumed, they are broken down into glucose, which is then used by cells to produce ATP, the energy currency of the body. This energy is necessary for various bodily functions, including muscle contraction, brain function, and overall metabolism. Therefore, carbohydrates provide fuel for the body in the form of energy.

Simplify the ratio 20 : 25

Correct Answer
4:5

Explanation
The ratio 20:25 can be simplified by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 5. Dividing 20 by 5 gives us 4, and dividing 25 by 5 gives us 5. Therefore, the simplified ratio is 4:5.

Fill in the blank 2:7 = ___:21

Correct Answer
6

Explanation
To solve this proportion, we can set up a cross-multiplication equation. The ratio 2:7 is equal to an unknown ratio x:21. Cross-multiplying gives us 2 * 21 = 7 * x. Simplifying this equation gives us 42 = 7x. Dividing both sides by 7 gives us x = 6. Therefore, the missing value in the proportion is 6.
