Question

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

Answer 1

14880 calories /24 hours

Explanation:

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

`(1550 calories)/(2.5 hours) =(? 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 :

`(1550 calories)/(2.5 hours) = (14880 calories)/(24 hours)`
