if a person weighing 150 pounds runs in place for 15 minutes and the reg cal burned is 650 cal /hr
Since 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour, multiply 650 by 1/4.
162.5 cal/hr
To calculate the calories burned during 15 minutes of running in place, we need to convert the given rate of 650 calories per hour to a rate per minute.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can divide 650 by 60 to get the rate per minute: 650 calories/hour / 60 minutes = 10.83 calories/minute.
Then, we multiply this rate by the duration of 15 minutes: 10.83 calories/minute * 15 minutes = 162.5 calories.
Therefore, the person weighing 150 pounds would burn approximately 162.5 calories while running in place for 15 minutes.
