How many calories did Blanca burn by jogging last month?


Explain how you arrived at your solution using mathematical words and complete sentences.

Answer 1

Answer: 1,400 calories



Bianca jogged 1.25 miles per day for 8 days. so 1.25*8 would equal 10 miles.

Since she jogged 10 miles and burned 140 calories per mile, if we multiply 10*140, we would get 1,400.

So last month, she lost 1,400 calories.
