The number of calories used per mile of jogging is determined both b an individual's weight and speed of running. Individuals of the same approximate weight running 6 mph or 1 mile every ten minutes have a calorie factor of 62% of their weight; i.e., calories burned= (weight)(0.62). If they run an 8 minute mile the factor is 65%.

(65*143) then divide by 100= 92.95 meaning your answer is B
