the zoo is expecting a new alligator to arrive in a few days.the previous reptile chef fed other species of reptiles currently at the zoo according to the information in the table. you speak with the mammal chef.who uses the formula y=72m³/⁴ to determine the daily calorie intake for the mammals, where y is the number of calories eaten and m is the mammal's mass in kilograms.you wonder if a similar formula might help determine the number of calories for the new alligator.substitute the data pairs from the table into the formula to find a number a so that the expression y= am³/⁴ gives the daily number of calories required by a reptile with a mass of m kilograms.
If alligator has mass of 400 kilograms, how many calories will require per day?

Answer:c=21,600

Step-by-step explanation:

So the given equation here is c=am^3/4

Where a=72 and m=400 substitute the formula

c=72×400^3/4

Get the decimal value of 3/4

c=72×400×0.75

Then multiply it all then we get c=21,600

To be sure that a is equal to 72 i have a solution that will make the equation true

The given solution is c=am^3/4 where c=21,600 and m=400 subtitute

21,600=a 400^3/4

Get the decimal of 3/4 to get the decimal of 3/4 just divide 3÷4 which the answer is 0.75

Then multiply the decimal and 400

21,600=a 400×0.75

Which the answer is

21,600=a 300

Divide both sides by 300

21,600/300=a 300 by 300

Cancel out 300/300 then divide 21,600

Which the answer is

72=a
