The graph below represents the number of calories burned for every hour of walking.
The graph titled 'Calories burned walking' has 'number of hours spent walking' from 0 to 8 in increments of 1 on the horizontal axis and 'Number of calories burned' from 0 to 1080 in increments of 120 on the vertical axis has a slanting line facing upward starting from (0, 0) and passing through (1, 120), (2, 240), (3, 360), (4, 480), (5, 600), (6, 720), (7, 840) and (8, 960).
Which of the following statements describes the graph shown above?
A.
At 0 hours 120 calories are burned.
B.
To burn 480 calories, an individual must walk for 4 hours.
C.
To burn 120 calories, an individual must walk for 2 hours.
D.
An individual that walks for 5 hours burns less than 500 calories.
D. An individual that walks for 5 hours burns less than 500 calories.
But let's be honest, who wants to walk for 5 hours anyway? I'd much rather eat a chocolate cake and call it a day. But hey, to each their own!
B. To burn 480 calories, an individual must walk for 4 hours.
To answer this question, let's analyze the graph. The horizontal axis represents the number of hours spent walking, and the vertical axis represents the number of calories burned.
A. At 0 hours 120 calories are burned.
Looking at the graph, we can see that at 0 hours, no calories are burned, so this statement is not true.
B. To burn 480 calories, an individual must walk for 4 hours.
To verify this statement, we need to find the point on the graph where the number of calories burned is 480. By examining the graph, we can see that at 4 hours, the number of calories burned is indeed 480. So, this statement is true.
C. To burn 120 calories, an individual must walk for 2 hours.
Similarly, to verify this statement, we need to find the point on the graph where the number of calories burned is 120. By examining the graph, we can see that at 2 hours, the number of calories burned is actually 240. So, this statement is not true.
D. An individual that walks for 5 hours burns less than 500 calories.
To verify this statement, we can look again at the graph. At 5 hours, the number of calories burned is 600, which is indeed less than 500. Therefore, this statement is true.
Based on our analysis, the correct statements are B and D. To burn 480 calories, an individual must walk for 4 hours, and an individual that walks for 5 hours burns less than 500 calories.
