Answer:

500 calories an hour are burnt.

Explanation:

45 is 3/4 of 60, so 375 is 3/4 of an hour of jogging. If we divide 375 by 3 we will get how many calories are burnt every 1/4 of an hour.

375 / 3 = 125

Now that we know what 1/4 of an hour equals we can add 125, 4 times to find the number of burnt calories in an hour of running.

125 + 125 + 125 + 125 = 500

that means jogging burns 500 calories an hour.
