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
Because that is the outer ring.
The letter (d.) strong base or acid would be the most appropriate answer to the question above. An indicator is a strong base or acid. Indicators are strong base and acid because through this you can determine if a compound is acid or base with its color.
