Answer: 144 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : It is believed that the minimum number of calories required for the average female to avoid starvation is 1200 calories.

The brain requires about 12% of the calories.

We can write 12% as 0.12  [To convert percent into decimal we divide it by 100]

Then, the number of calories the brain requires = [tex]1200\times0.12=144[/tex]

Hence, the brain requires 144 calories.
