Question

if im speed skating (roller skating) and i stastically burn 250 calories in a 30 minute session, what if i skate for 6 hours constantly while fast skating? how many calories do i burn

Answer 1

If you burn 250 calories in a 30-minute session, you can determine the calories burned per hour by scaling that value up.

1. Calculate the calories burned per hour:
- 250 calories in 30 minutes means:
\[
\text{Calories burned per hour} = 250 \text{ calories} \times 2 = 500 \text{ calories}
\]

2. Calculate the calories burned in 6 hours:
\[
\text{Calories burned in 6 hours} = 500 \text{ calories/hour} \times 6 \text{ hours} = 3000 \text{ calories}
\]

So, if you skate for 6 hours constantly while fast skating, you would burn approximately **3000 calories**.
