If a person burns 700 cals per hour, how man cals will they burn in 35 minutes?
One way to solve this problem is to divide 700 by 60 minutes to find the number of calories burned each minute.
700/60 = 11 and 2/3 or 11.67
Multiply 11.67 by 35.
11.67 * 35 = 408.45
Another way to solve this problem is to take 35/60 -- 7/12 -- of 700
7/12 * 700 = 4900/12 = 408.33
The difference in the two answers is due to rounding.
