First, convert height to inches (5 feet 4 inches = 64 inches) and weight to kilograms (130 pounds = 59 kg). Then, substitute the values into the EER formula: EER = [354 - (6.91 * 27)] + 1.27 * [(9.36 * 59) + (726 * 1.63)]. Calculate to find the energy requirement falls within the range of 2300-2400.
