Answer: The answer to this problem is 178 calories.

Explanation:

To calculate the answer, simply get the percentage of calories a person would burn during exercise (I am using a calculator BTW).

185 / 260 = 0.711538462

Then, calculate 71.1538462% of 250 pounds.

250 * 0.711538462 = 177.884616

Finally, round up your answer. 177.884616 rounded up is 178.
