Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The average daily metabolic rate for a hippopotamus living in the wild can be expressed as a function of weight by $\mathrm{m}=132.9 \mathrm{w} 0.75$ , where $\mathrm{w}$ is the weight of the hippopotamus (in $\mathrm{kg}$ ) and $\mathrm{m}$ is the metabolic rate (in $\mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{day}$ ) . Determine $\mathrm{dm} / \mathrm{dt}$ for a $2100-\mathrm{kg}$ hippopotamus that is gaining weight at a rate of $15.75 \mathrm{~kg} /$ day.

A) $309 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{day}^{2}$
B) $232 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{day}^{2}$
C) $15 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{day}^{2}$
D) $10,627 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{day}^{2}$
