10. Based on calorie consumption and expenditure, which person will most likely gain weight the slowest?
A. Madeline takes in 2,500 calories a day, and uses 2,200 calories during the day.
B. Fernando takes in 2,550 calories a day, and uses 2,500 calories during the day.
C. Dahlia takes in 2,000 calories a day, and uses 1,900 calories during the day.
D. Wallace takes in 2,500 calories a day, and uses 2,000 calories during the day.
I'm really unsure about this question, please help?
To gain weight, one must use FEWER calories a day than one takes in.
Which ones do that?
Once you've decided that, then check to see which one uses up the fewest calories compared to how much he/she takes in. Subtraction and then comparison are required.
Madeline 300 left
Fernando 50 left
Dahlia 100 left
Wallace 500 left
So answer B Fernando?
To determine which person will most likely gain weight the slowest based on calorie consumption and expenditure, we need to compare the calorie intake and calorie expenditure of each person. The person who has the smallest difference between their calorie intake and expenditure is likely to gain weight the slowest.
Let's calculate the differences for each person:
A. Madeline:
Calorie intake = 2,500 calories
Calorie expenditure = 2,200 calories
Difference = 2,500 - 2,200 = 300 calories
B. Fernando:
Calorie intake = 2,550 calories
Calorie expenditure = 2,500 calories
Difference = 2,550 - 2,500 = 50 calories
C. Dahlia:
Calorie intake = 2,000 calories
Calorie expenditure = 1,900 calories
Difference = 2,000 - 1,900 = 100 calories
D. Wallace:
Calorie intake = 2,500 calories
Calorie expenditure = 2,000 calories
Difference = 2,500 - 2,000 = 500 calories
From the calculations, we can see that Fernando has the smallest difference between calorie intake and expenditure (50 calories), suggesting that he is likely to gain weight the slowest. Therefore, the answer is B. Fernando takes in 2,550 calories a day and uses 2,500 calories during the day.
To determine which person will most likely gain weight the slowest based on calorie consumption and expenditure, we need to compare the calorie intake and calorie usage of each person.
Let's analyze each person's data:
A. Madeline takes in 2,500 calories a day and uses 2,200 calories during the day.
B. Fernando takes in 2,550 calories a day and uses 2,500 calories during the day.
C. Dahlia takes in 2,000 calories a day and uses 1,900 calories during the day.
D. Wallace takes in 2,500 calories a day and uses 2,000 calories during the day.
To find out the net calorie balance for each person, we subtract the calories used from the calories consumed:
A. Madeline: 2,500 calories - 2,200 calories = 300 calories surplus
B. Fernando: 2,550 calories - 2,500 calories = 50 calories surplus
C. Dahlia: 2,000 calories - 1,900 calories = 100 calories surplus
D. Wallace: 2,500 calories - 2,000 calories = 500 calories surplus
The surplus indicates the extra calories that are not being used, which could lead to weight gain. Therefore, the person who will most likely gain weight the slowest is the one with the lowest surplus.
Comparing the surpluses, we see that Fernando has the smallest surplus of 50 calories. This means that Fernando will most likely gain weight the slowest among the given options.
So, the answer is B. Fernando takes in 2,550 calories a day and uses 2,500 calories during the day.
