Question

How many kcal are expended during 45 minutes of jogging for a 68 kg person (150 lbs)?

a) 272 kcal
b) 306 kcal
c) 340 kcal
d) 374 kcal

Answer 1

To calculate the number of kcal expended during jogging, multiply the weight of the person by the calories burned per minute and then by the duration of jogging.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of kcal expended during jogging, we first need to convert the weight of the person from pounds to kilograms. 150 lbs is approximately 68 kg. Jogging burns around 10 calories per minute for a person who weighs 68 kg. So, in 45 minutes of jogging, the person would burn 10 * 45 = 450 kcal. Therefore, the correct answer is (d) 374 kcal.
