Answer 2

Hey Dear,

◆ Answer -

Energy = 686 J/potato

◆ Explanation -

Both Joules (J) & Calories (cal) are the units of energy.

J & Cal are related as -

1 cal = 4.18 J

Therefore, we can convert -

164 cal = 164 × 4.18 J

164 cal = 685.52 J

164 cal ~ 686 J

Hence, average energy value of baked potato in joules is 686 J.
