b. 35 years
c. 38 years
d. 40 years
2. Physical Activity Factor
a. 1.00
b. 1.11
c. 1.12
d. 1.25
e. 1.27
f. 1.45
g. 1.48

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Age:

d. 40 years

EER calculated using the formula:

EER = {354 - (6.91 x a)} + b x {(9.36 x c) + (726 x d)}

where, a = age, b= physical activity, c= weight in kilograms (kg), d= height in meters (m).

= {354 - (6.91 x 40)} + 0.5 x {(9.36 x 78) + (726 x 0.14478)

=(354- 276.4) + (0.5 x 730.08) + 105.11028)

= 77.6 + 365.04 + 105.11028

= 547.75028.

BMI:

BMI = kg/m2 where kg= 78, m = 0.14478

BMI =
`(78)/(0.14478^(2) )`

BMI = 3,721.

2. Physical Activity Factor:

e.
