Question

During a 60 minute boxing class Abby burns 480 calories, on a 40 minute run, Abby burns 440 calories, while cycling for 30 minutes which exercise is the most efficient at burning calories?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

In a 60 minute boxing class Abby burns 480 calories.

The rate at which calories are burn during boxing is;

`\begin{gathered} r_1=(480)/(60) \\ r_1=8\text{ calories/minute} \end{gathered}`

Also;

on a 40 minute run,Abby burns 440 calories,

The rate at which calories are burn during cycling is;

`\begin{gathered} r_2=(440)/(40) \\ r_2=11\text{calories/minute} \end{gathered}`

while cycling for 30 minutes,

From the above rate the most efficient exercise at burning calories is the exercise with the highest rate of burning calories.
