Respuesta :
When the internal body temperature increases by 33°F, there is an increases in BMR (Body metabolic rate) by 7%.
Mark has a BMR of 2,200 calories
Mark has a fever of 99.6ºF
increase in body temperature = 99.6/33 = 3.02
now percentage increase in BMR = 3.02 x 7 = 21.14% = 0.2114
increase in BMR = 2200 x 0.2114 = 465.08
His BMR now would be = 2200 + 465.08 = 2665.08

What is BMR?
- “It stands for basal metabolic rate which measures the minimum amount of calories that your body needs to perform necessary functions.”
- It is affected by: gender, age, temperature, muscle mass, etc.
- A decrease or increase in temperature will result in high BMR as the body has to do more work in order to maintain its normal body temperature.
As we know that if a person’s temperature increases above 33º Fahrenheit, his BMR will also increases by 7% = 0.07.
Mark’s now temperature (fever) = 99.6ºF.
So, his increase in body temperature = 99.6º F/33º F = 3.02
Increase BMR (percent) = 3.02 x 0.07 = 0.2114.
We know that at normal temperature Mark’s BMR = 2200 calories.
Increased BMR = 2200 x 0.2114 = 465.08.
So, the BMR when he’s having 99.6ºF fever = 2200 + 465.08 = 2665.08 calories.
Hence, the correct answer is: 2665.08 calories.
