Question

Write a multiplication expression to represent each situation. Then find each product and explain its meaning. Ethan burns 650 calories when he runs for 1 hour. Suppose he runs 5 hours in one week.

Answer 1

We know that

• Ethan burns 650 calories per hour.

If he runs 5 hours we just have to multiply this time with the given rate.

`650\cdot5=3,250`

Therefore, Ethan burns 3,250 calories in 5 hours.
