If 400 calories are burned by jogging 5 km, how many calories were burnt in the given week?
- A1480 calories
- B1530 calories
- C1430 calories
- D1380 calories
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
First, let us calculate the total distance jogged during the week:
Total Distance=3.5+2+3+0.5+3.5+2.5+3.5=18.5 km
Given:
Calories burned per km=
5
400
=80 calories/km
Total calories burnt in the week:
Total Calories=18.5×80=1480 calories
Total Distance=3.5+2+3+0.5+3.5+2.5+3.5=18.5 km
Given:
Calories burned per km=
5
400
=80 calories/km
Total calories burnt in the week:
Total Calories=18.5×80=1480 calories
