Answer 1

3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

An average donut has about 198 calories. In this case, 2.5 donuts would have an average of 495 calories (198 * 2.5).

1 hour of walking (2 mph) has the ability to burn about 183 calories. In this case, to know how many hours of walking it would take to burn the calories acquired by eating 2.5 donuts, we must do the calculation:

1 h = 183 calories

X h = 495 calories

X = 495/183

x = 2.70 h ----- 3 hours.
