I need help with calculating 

You wish to determine if a certain biochemical reaction will be spontaneous. You have determined the following for this reaction:

G(products) = 48 kCal/mole

G(reactants) = 12 kCal/mole

You have also determined that there are 4 molecules of ATP that can be used in this reaction (ΔG for one ATP = -7.3 kCal).

What the ΔG for this biochemical reaction using this level of ATP hydrolysis?  ....     kCal/mol

Will this reaction proceed spontaneously with this level of ATP hydrolysis?   ....
