Question

People get energy from the food they eat. This energy is measured in calories. When you exercise, you use up or burn calories. The picture at the right shows about how many calories a 125-pound person burns each minute bowling. How many calories does a 125-pound person burn in 2 hours of bowling? 3 calorie burned each minute

Answer 1

A 125-pound person burns 3 calories per minute while bowling. In 2 hours, which is 120 minutes, they will burn a total of 360 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of calories burned by a 125-pound person during 2 hours of bowling, we need to use the rate provided and perform a simple multiplication. According to the information given, the person burns 3 calories each minute while bowling.

First, we need to find out how many minutes are in 2 hours:

• 1 hour = 60 minutes
• 2 hours = 2 × 60 minutes = 120 minutes

Next, we multiply the number of minutes by the calories burned per minute:

• Calories burned in 2 hours = number of minutes × calories per minute
• Calories burned in 2 hours = 120 minutes × 3 calories/minute
• Calories burned in 2 hours = 360 calories

Bowling for 2 hours will therefore burn a total of 360 calories for a person weighing 125 pounds.

Answer 2

360

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so 2 hours = 120 minutes.

Multiply 120 by 3 and you get 360.

They would burn 360 calories doing 2 hours of bowling.
