Answer:

20 minutes

Explanation:

From the given information, we can see that:

  • 4 minutes burns 20 calories, and
  • 8 minutes burns 40 calories.

We can see the pattern that minutes x 5 = number of calories.

4*5 =20

8*5=40

So for the last line, what we need is a number which multiplied by 5 gives us 100. Let that number be
x:


x*5=100\\5x=100\\x=(100)/(5)=20

So you would need to run 20 minutes.
