Answer 1

`12(m-5)=540`

where
`m` represents number of minutes

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Anzelm wants to burn 540 calories while jogging. Jogging burns about 12 calories per minute. When Anzelm goes jogging, he usually plans to stop and rest for about 5 minutes. Complete the equation below to find the total number of minutes (including rest) that Anzelm should plan to be out jogging. Use m to represent the total minutes.

Solution:

Amount of calories Anzelm wants to burn = 540 calories

Rate at which calories burn while jogging = 12 calories/minute

Time he stops for rest = 5 minutes

Let Anzelm be out for
`m` minutes.

Time for which Anzelm jogs in minutes = Total time - rest time
`=m-5`

Total calories he will burn jogging for
`(m-5)` minutes
`Calories\ burned\ per\ minute * jogging\ time = 12(m-5)`

Calories to be burned = 540 calories

So the equation to find the number of minutes Anzelm should plan to be out for jogging is:

`12(m-5)=540`
