Answer:
<em>17500 calories</em> of chocolate bars are needed to eat to gain 5 pounds.
Explanation:
We can use ratios to calculate the answer using the information given in the question.
1 pound : 3500 grams
5 pounds : x grams
As it is given that the individual is burning no calories, we do not have to factor in any additional numbers.
<u><em>Method</em><em> </em><em>A</em><em>:</em></u>
To go from 1 in the first ratio to 5 in the second ratio, they multipled 1 by 5. Hence, to go from 3500 in the first ratio to x in the second ratio, we must multiply by 5.
x = 3500 × 5
x = 17500
<em><u>Method B</u>:</em>
To solve for the answer x, we can convert the ratios into fractions.
1 / 5 = 3500 / x
3500 / x = 1 / 5
To make x the subject, multiply the denominator of the left fraction with the numerator of the right fraction and place it on the left side. Then multiply the numerator of the left fraction with the denominator of the right fraction and place it on the right side.
x = 5 × 3500
x = 17500
D: the composition of the materials that make up the planet
I would say soil would be your best option. This is because out of all these, soil collects a lot of different substances and could have easily absorbed something that then killed the organism.
Light is helpful because it allows us to see things around us.
I hope this helps :)
