Celeste's diet restricts her intake of protein to 24 g per day. 1 lb = 16 oz. If she eats 1.2 oz of protein, how many grams of protein has she eaten?

A student wants to lose some weight. He knows that rigorous aerobic activity uses about $700 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{h}(2900 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{h})$ and that it takes about 2000 kcal per day $(8400 \mathrm{kJ})$ just to support necessary biological functions, including keeping the body warm. He decides to burn calories faster simply by sitting naked in a $16^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ room and letting his body radiate calories away. His body has a surface area of about $1.7 \mathrm{m}^{2}$ and his skin temperature is $35^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ Assuming an emissivity of $1.0,$ at what rate (in $\mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{h}$ ) will this student "burn" calories?
