Question

Individuals of the same approximate weight running 6 mph or 1 mile every ten minutes have a calorie use factor of 62% of their weight; i.E., calories burned = (weight)(0.62). If they run an 8-minute mile, the factor is 65%. A man weighs 180 lb. He jogs a mile in 8 minutes. How many calories has he used up?

Answer 1

Answer: He has used up 117 calories.

Explanation:

Given, For 62% as factor, calories burned (E)= (weight)(0.62).

Also, if they run an 8-minute mile, the factor is 65%. [given]

Then, calories burned (E)= (weight)(0.65). [65%=0.65]

Weight of man = 180 lb

Then, calories burned (E)= 180 x (0.65).

= 117

Thus , he burned 117 calories.

So, he has used up 117 calories.
