Answer

She burnt 181 calories in that first 10 minutes of the 5,000 meter race.

Step-by-step explanation

Bella wrote the equation that relates her calories burnt (c) to number of minutes (m) she has run as

c = 18.1m

The question then asks us to find how much calories she burnt in the first 10 minutes of the 5,000 meter race.

That is, find c when m = 10 minutes

Recall,

c = 18.1m

c = 18.1 (10)

c = 181 calories.

Hope this Helps!!!
