Question

While hiking, Mr.Finds burns 808 Calories in 8 hours. At this rate, how many Calories does he burn in 60 minutes?

Answer 1

101 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that while hiking, Mr.Finds burns 808 Calories in 8 hours.

To find calories burn by Mr. Finds in 60 minutes let us find calories burn per hour as 1 hour equals 60 minutes.

`\text{Calories burn in 1 hour}=\frac{808\text{ Calories}}{8\text{ Hours}}`

`\text{Calories burn in 1 hour}=101\frac{\text{ Calories}}{\text{ Hour}}`

Therefore, Mr. Finds will burn 101 calories in 1 hour or 60 minutes.

Answer 2

Mr Finds burns 101 calories in 60 minutes.

Explanation:

We were given that Mr Finds burns
`808` calories in
`8` hours.

So we can write the ratio,

`808:8`

At the same rate we want to find how many calories he burns in
`60` minutes.

This is equivalent to asking how many calories he burns in an hour.

Let
`x` represent the number of calories he burns in an hour. Since this should obviously be less than 808, we divide by 8 to get,

`x=(808* 1)/(8)`

`\Rightarrow x=101`

Therefore Mr Finds burns 101 calories in 60 minutes.
