Answer:

1 day 4 hours and 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew burns 11 calories/min

How long it would take him to burn 18700 calories is given as shown below:


\begin{gathered} =(18700)/(11)*(cal)/((cal)/(min)) \\ =1700* cal*(min)/(cal) \\ =1700min \\ 60min=1h \\ 24h=1day \\ \text{Converting we have:} \\ =1700min*(1h)/(60) \\ =28(1)/(3)h \\ =28h\text{ }20mins \\ \text{Converting to days, hours, minutes we have:} \\ =24h+4h+20min \\ =1day\text{ }4hours\text{ }20minutes \end{gathered}

Therefore, it would take him 1 day 4 hours and 20 minutes to burn those calories
