(01.03 lc) brett has consumed 1,400 calories so far today. he has also burned off 400 calories at the gym. he would like to keep his daily calorie total to 2,000 calories per day. how many calories does he have left to consume for the day? is 1,200 a viable solution to this problem? yes; 1,200 is less than 1,400. yes; 1,200 is less than 2,000. no; 1,200 is more than the 400 he burned off at the gym. no; 1,200 will cause him to exceed 2,000.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate remaining calorie limit

First, find out how many calories Brett can still consume to reach his 2000 - calorie daily limit after burning 400 calories at the gym. The formula is $2000 - 400$.
$2000−400 = 1600$ calories.

Step2: Compare with 1200 calories

Now, compare the remaining calorie - limit (1600 calories) with 1200 calories. Since $1200<1600$, 1200 is less than the remaining calorie limit. Also, $1200 < 1400$ and $1200<2000$.

Answer:

Yes; 1,200 is less than 1,400. Yes; 1,200 is less than 2,000.
