Answer:
B. 1115 kcal
Explanation:
Resting Metabolic Rate is the total amount of energy (measured in calories) expended when the human body is at complete rest.
The formula for the Resting metabolic Rate according to the Harris-Benedict equation is given by
RMR = 655.1 + [9.563 × Weight (kg)] + [1.85 × height (cm)] - [4.676 × age (years)].
We simply substitute the figures into the equation, which gives us;
RMR = 655.1 + [9.563 × 53 kg] + [1.85 × 157 cm] - [4.676 × 72 years]
RMR = 655.1 + [506.839] + [290.45] - [336.672]
Applying BODMAS, we first sum up before subtraction.
Therefore;
1452.389 - 336.672 = 1115.717 kcal
