U burn 30 calories walking for 10 mins and at this rate how many calories will u burn in 15 mins
The correct form : Paula burns 30 calories walking for 10 minutes and at this rate how many calories will she burn in 15 minutes
Cross multiply and solve for x.
30/10 = x/15
Is it 45?
Yes.
To calculate the number of calories burned in 15 minutes, we can set up a proportion using the information given, which states that you burn 30 calories in 10 minutes of walking:
Calories burned in 10 minutes / Time in minutes = Calories burned in 15 minutes / Time in minutes
Let's assign variables to the unknowns:
Calories burned in 10 minutes = C1
Calories burned in 15 minutes = C2
Using the proportions, we have:
C1 / 10 = C2 / 15
We can cross-multiply:
C1 * 15 = C2 * 10
Now we can solve for C2, the number of calories burned in 15 minutes:
C2 = (C1 * 15) / 10
Substituting C1 with 30 (the number of calories burned in 10 minutes), we get:
C2 = (30 * 15) / 10
C2 = 450 / 10
C2 = 45
Therefore, at the same rate, you would burn approximately 45 calories in 15 minutes of walking.
