The mass of a cat is about 3.6 kg. Use the formula b 0.01m0.7 where b represents the brain mass and m represents the body mass. What is the approximate mass of the cat’s brain?
Formula "b 0.01m0.7" is unclear.
To calculate the approximate mass of the cat's brain using the given formula b = 0.01m^0.7, we need to substitute the body mass of the cat into the equation.
Given:
Body mass (m) of the cat = 3.6 kg
Now, let's substitute the value of m into the equation:
b = 0.01 * 3.6^0.7
To calculate this expression, we need to raise 3.6 to the power of 0.7. Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Raise 3.6 to the power of 0.7:
3.6^0.7 = 2.584
(You can use a calculator for this step)
2. Now multiply the result by 0.01:
b = 0.01 * 2.584
Calculating this expression:
b = 0.02584
So, the approximate mass of the cat's brain (b) is 0.02584 kg.
