   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{kcal}& =\frac{4,184\cancel{\mathrm{J}}}{1\cancel{\mathrm{J}}}\times 1\mathrm{J}\\ & =\frac{4,184}{1}\mathrm{J}\\ & =4,184\mathrm{J}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{J}& =\frac{1\cancel{\mathrm{J}}}{4,184\cancel{\mathrm{J}}}\times 1\mathrm{kcal}\\ & =\frac{1}{4,184}\mathrm{kcal}\\ & =0.000239005736\mathrm{kcal}\end{array}$$
