This question uses the concept of the division.

Vivi, the band drummer, burns 765 calories in 3 hours. And she burns these calories at the same rate. Which means she burns the same amount of calories per hour.

Thus, the set up equation for this question will be:

Energy burnt in 3 hours=756 calories

Therefore, Energy burnt in 1 hour =
(756)/(3) =252 Calories.

Thus, the required answer is that Vivi burns 252 Calories of energy per hour while drumming.
