Answer

$\text{ approximately }1509.0 \text{ calories}$

Work Step by Step

Using the given function, $ B(w)=70w^{3/4} ,$ then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} B(w)=70(60)^{3/4} \\ B(w)=70(21.558246717785053362090056351417) \\ B(w)=1509.0772702449537353463039445992 \\ B(w)\approx1509.0 .\end{array} Hence, the BMR, $B(w),$ for a person who weighs $60$ kilogram is $ \text{ approximately }1509.0 \text{ calories} .$
