What is the average metabolic rate for a boiler maker who is performing maintenance on the boiler during shutdown and works for 3 hours at 3.5 kcal/min, takes a break for 30 min in a sitting position (metabolic rate = 0.3 kcal/min), resumes working on the outside of the boiler for 3.5 hours (metabolic rate = 2.5 kcal/min), then performs administrative work in the area for 1 hour (metabolic rate = 0.4 kcal/min)?

The average metabolic rate for the boiler maker during the 8 hours is 2.475 kcal/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate the average as a weighted average.

This weighted average can be expressed as:

being ti the hours on each task or break, and Mi the metabolic rate for each task or break.

The average metabolic rate for the boiler maker during the 8 hours is 2.475 kcal/min.

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5

could you provide figure.
