Answer 1

The correct answer would be 2665.08.

Explanation:

BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate. By definition, 'It is the energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest'. BMR is different for men and women.

When a person has a fever above 33 degrees Fahrenheit, his BMR increases by 7%. So the calculations are as follows:

BMR of Mark = 2200 Calories

Mark's body temperature = 99.6 Degrees Fahrenheit

So the increase in the body temperature of Mark will be calculated as: 99.6/33=3.02

So Percentage Increase in BMR = 3.02 x 0.07 = 0.2114

Increase in BMR = 2200 x 0.2114 = 465.08

Mark's BMR at 99.6 Degree Fahrenheit would be = 2200 + 465.08 = 2665.08
