If lawrence weighs 198 pounds and has an average basal metabolic rate of 1.0 kilocalorie per kilogram per hour, determine his basal metabolic rate.

To solve lawrence's basal metabolic rate, convert first his mass to kilograms. so 1 kg is equivalent to 2.2 lbs

mass = 198 lb (1 kg / 2.2 lbs)

mass = 90 kg

basal metabolic rate = 90 kg (1 kcal / kg hr)

basal metabolic rate = 90 kcal / hr is the basal metabolic rate of lawrence

We are given with

weight = 198 lb

average basal metabolic rate = 1.0 kcal/kg/hr

Convert pounds to kilograms

198 lb (1 kg/2.2 lb) = 90 kg

The basal metabolic rate of Lawrence is

90 kg (1.0 kcal / kg/hr) = 90 kcal/hr
