Answer:

17500 calories 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.

Method A:

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

Method B:

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

Answer:

Ocean Currents

Explanation:

The correct answer is Ocean currents.

When the earth receives solar radiation, a large fraction of this incident radiation is usually absorbed by the oceans and the seas, which become warm. Usually, equitorial regions are the ones that have this phenomenon. Now, when ocean currents are flowing from the equator, they usually carry this warm water with them thereby moving the greatest amount of heat from the equator on its way out.

For example, In the Pacific Ocean, there is a current known as Alaska Current that carries warm water in the northward direction thereby making Anchorage which is Alaska's largest city to have a much mild weather than the inland areas with the same latitude.
