There is a question similar to this on my test.

For mine it's 154 -Ibs and that he burns 420 calories on a bike. And, that you have to write a function and explain stuff.

SO HERES MY ANSWER:

It says he burns 420 calories every hour
so in 1 hour, 420
in 2 hours , 840 ...

SO the answer is= 420t

The rest is just babble intended to confuse the enemy (students)
I think the teachers hate us lol

ANYWAYS, your welcome folks
