based on a 150 pound person jogging = 740 cal burned for 5 1/2 mi/hr
if a person jogs at a rate of 5 1/2 mi/h for 3 1/2 h in a week how many calories do they burn.
Multiply 3 1/2 by 740.
To calculate the number of calories burned by a person jogging at a rate of 5 1/2 miles per hour for 3 1/2 hours in a week, you need to multiply the number of hours by the calories burned per hour.
First, convert 3 1/2 hours into a decimal. To do this, divide the number of minutes by 60 and add it to the number of whole hours. In this case, 1/2 hour is equal to 30 minutes, so 3 1/2 hours is equal to 3 + 30/60 = 3.5 hours.
Next, multiply the number of hours (3.5) by the calories burned per hour (740). This can be done by multiplying 3.5 by 740.
3.5 x 740 = 2590 calories
Therefore, a person jogging at a rate of 5 1/2 miles per hour for 3 1/2 hours in a week would burn approximately 2590 calories.
