Question

A rock climber burns 60 calories for every 5 minutes or rock climbing write a proportion to determine how many calories a rock climber would burn in 7 minutes

Answer 1

60 / 5 = 12
12 • 1 = 12
12 • 7 = 84
So it’s 84 calories

Answer 2

84 calories

Explanation:

A rock climber burns 60 calories for every 5 minutes of rock climbing.

Find the amount of calories burned every minute by dividing 60 with 5:

60/5 = 12/1

For every minute climbed, the rock climber burns ~12 calories.

Now, you are trying to find how many calories are burnt in 7 minutes. To do so, multiply 7 with 12:

12 x 7 = 84

84 calories are burnt in 7 minutes of rock climbing.
