Question

Calculate the total amount of light energy (kcal) the plants received over 7 days. If the average daily light energy received by the plants is L kilocalories, express the total amount of light energy (W) in kilocalories as a function of time (t) in days, given by the equation W=L×t, If the plants received an average of 5 kilocalories of light energy per day, what is the total amount of light energy they received over 7 days?

a. 7 kcal
b. 25 kcal
c. 35 kcal
d. 42 kcal

Answer 1

The total amount of light energy the plants received over 7 days is 35 kcal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of light energy the plants received over 7 days can be calculated using the equation W = L x t, where W is the total amount of light energy, L is the average daily light energy, and t is the time in days. Given that the plants received an average of 5 kilocalories of light energy per day, we can substitute L = 5 and t = 7 into the equation to find W:

W = 5 x 7 = 35 kcal

Therefore, the total amount of light energy the plants received over 7 days is 35 kcal.
