Question

1. a 180-pound person burns about 88.5 calories every 15 minutes while bowling. write an equation to represent how many calories a 180-pound person burns every minute. will a 180-pound person or a 120-pound person burn more calories in 2 hours of bowling? explain. write an equation where c represents the number of calories and t represents the time in minutes. (use the operation symbols in the math palette as needed. type an equation. use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation.)

Explanation:

Step1: Find calories per minute

A 180 - pound person burns 88.5 calories in 15 minutes. To find calories per minute, divide total calories by time: $\frac{88.5}{15}=5.9$.

Step2: Write the equation

The number of calories $c$ is equal to calories per minute times time $t$ (in minutes). So the equation is $c = 5.9t$.

Answer:

$c = 5.9t$
