Question

A moderately active 140 pound person will use 2100 calories per day to maintain that body weight, how many calories per day are necessary to maintain a moderately active 145 pound person

Answer 1

Answer:

2,175 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

140 pound person will use 2100 calories per day

145 pounds person will use x calories per day

Find x

Pounds : calories

140 : 2100 = 145 : x

140/2100 = 145/x

Cross product

140 * x = 2100 * 145

140x = 304,500

Divide both sides by 140

x = 304,500 / 140

= 2,175

Therefore,

145 pounds person will use 2175 calories per day
