Question

Find the equivalent rate: 1550 calories/2.5 hours = ? calories/ 1 day

Answer 1

Answer:

14880 calories /24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

one of the fraction has hours the others day so you have to convert to make them the same 1day =24 hours

$\frac{1550 calories}{2.5 hours} =\frac{? calories }{24 hours}$

you have two fractions that are equal so you can cross multiply

24*1550 = ? * 2.5 ; divide both sides by 2.5

37200/2.5 = ?

? = 14880 calories

the equivalent rate is :

$\frac{1550 calories}{2.5 hours} = \frac{14880 calories}{24 hours}$
