Final answer:

Ken would burn 1080 calories if he were to run for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many calories Ken would burn if he were to run for 1 hour and 30 minutes, we can use the given information. Ken burns 120 calories in 10 minutes of running.

We can set up a proportion to find out how many calories he would burn in 1 hour and 30 minutes:

10 minutes = 120 calories

1 hour and 30 minutes=90minutes = x calories

We can cross-multiply and solve for x:

10x = 120 *90

10x = 1080

x = 1080

Therefore, Ken would burn 1080 calories if he were to run for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
