Question: Brandon can catch 6 squirrels or two rabbits in 1 hour. Each squirrel has 300 calories and each rabbit has 800 calories. How many more calories will he get per hour if he catches squirrels instead of rabbits?
Answer: First find how many calories per hour Brandon gets from squirrels: 300 calories / squirrel * 6 squirrels = 1800 calories. Then find how many calories per hour Brandon gets from rabbits: 800 calories / rabbit * 2 rabbits = 1600 calories. Then subtract the number of calories per hour from rabbits from the number from squirrels to find the difference: 1800 calories - 1600 calories = 200 calories. The answer is 200.
