Hey there!

To figure out how many calories she burned per minute, all we have to do is divide 130 by 20

130 ÷ 20 = 6.5

Let’s check our work by multiplying 6.5 by 20

6.5 x 20 = 130

Therefore, Shelly burned 6.5 calories per minute!

Hope this helps you!

Answer:

6.5 calories per minute.

Explanation:

We have been given that Shelly ran 20 minutes and burned 130 calories.

To find the number of calories burned by Shelly per minute we will divide total number of calories burned by total number of minutes.


\text{The number of calories Shelly burns per minute}=(130)/(20)


\text{The number of calories Shelly burns per minute}=6.5

Therefore, Shelly burns 6.5 calories per minute.
