An infant needs 330 kcal of energy per day. how many ounces of commercial formula does the infant need to drink per day in order to meet the requirement

Answer 1

An ounce of formula usually provides 20 kcal of energy for the infant. To find the amount needed, divide 330 by 20. This gives 16.5 ounces, which would then be the minimum amount the child would require to reach their energy intake levels for the day.
