Answer :
Answer:
The mass of human is 2898 times of the mass of cat.
Explanation:
A study finds that the metabolic rate of mammals is proportional to m^3/4 i.e.
[tex]M=\dfrac{km^3}{4}[/tex]
Where
k is constant
If m = 70 kg, the mass of human
[tex]M=\dfrac{70^3}{4}\\\\=85750[/tex]
If m = 4.91 kg, the mass of cat
[tex]M'=\dfrac{4.91^3}{4}\\\\=29.59[/tex]
So,
[tex]\dfrac{M}{M'}=\dfrac{85750}{29.59}\\\\=2897.93\approx 2898[/tex]
So, the mass of human is 2898 times of the mass of cat.
