How many hours would a person have to jump rope in order to lose 1 pound? If a person uses 750 cal/h. A person
needs to burn off 3,500 calories more than he or she takes in to lose 1 pound. I need to know how to set up the problem and I can figure out the answer.
See the other post.
To find out how many hours a person would need to jump rope in order to lose 1 pound, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the number of calories burned per hour jumping rope.
Given that a person burns 750 calories per hour by jumping rope, we now know the rate at which calories are burned.
Step 2: Calculate the number of calories needed to be burned to lose 1 pound.
It is commonly accepted that you need to burn 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound of body weight. So, this will be our target number of calories burned.
Step 3: Divide the target number of calories by the rate of calories burned per hour.
Divide the target number of calories (3,500) by the rate of calories burned per hour (750) to find the number of hours needed to burn those calories.
3,500 calories / 750 calories/hour = 4.6667 hours
Rounded, this gives us approximately 4.67 hours.
Therefore, a person would need to jump rope for approximately 4.67 hours in order to burn 3,500 calories and lose 1 pound.
