Question

The table shows the relationship between the number of Calories Lucie burns while jumping rope and the number of minutes she jumps rope. Minutes Calories Burned

40 | 320
80 | 640
120 | 960
160 | 1280
How many calories will Lucie burn in 1 minute while jumping rope? Enter the answer

Answer 1

The amount of calories Lucie will burn by jumping for 1 minute is 8 calories

Explanation:

The given data values are;

Minutes
`{}` Calories Burned

40
`{}` 320

80
`{}` 640

120
`{}` 960

160
`{}` 1280

The value of calories burnt and the number of minutes of jump robe are seen to be directly proportional, such that we have;

40 minutes of jump rope will yield 320 calories burnt

Therefore we have;

1 minute of jump rope will yield 320/40 = 8 calories burnt

The amount of calories Lucie will burn by jumping for 1 minute = 8 calories.
