in order to lose 1 pound a person needs to burn about 3,600 more calories than he or she eats and drinks. A person who weighs 155 pounds burns about 240 calories per hour by walking at a moderate pace. about how many minutes would a 155-pound person have to walk at a moderate pace in order to lose 1 pound

ok so you know that the person burns 3,600 calories in order to lose a pound. If they burn 240 calories per hour, you would just divide 3,600 by 240 to get 15. Since you asked for minutes just multiply by 60 which is 900.
