What is the BMR per square meter of the surface area for the mouse?

______ kcal/d/m2

!
Required information
Small animals eat much more food per kilogram of body mass than do larger
animals. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the minimal energy intake
necessary to sustain life in a state of complete inactivity. The table lists the
BMR in kilocalories per day, the mass, and the surface area for 4 animals.
