To evaluate the statements regarding the graph of calories burned while walking, we will review each option based on the information typically represented in such graphs. Although I cannot see the specific graph, I can help you analyze the statements based on general calorie burning assumptions.
Let's break down the statements:
A. **At 0 hours, 120 calories are burned.**
- This statement is generally incorrect as at 0 hours of walking, no calories would have been burned.
B. **To burn 480 calories, an individual must walk for 4 hours.**
- This could be true if the rate of calorie burning is 120 calories per hour. If so, 4 hours × 120 calories/hour = 480 calories.
C. **Walking burns calories at a rate of 120 calories per hour.**
- This could also be true if the graph indicates a consistent rate of 120 calories burned per hour, which is a common average.
D. **To burn 120 calories, an individual must walk for 2 hours.**
- This would be incorrect if the rate is 120 calories per hour because it would only take 1 hour to burn 120 calories.
E. **An individual that walks for 5 hours burns less than 500 calories.**
- This statement would likely be false if the rate is 120 calories per hour, as 5 hours would burn 600 calories (5 hours × 120 calories/hour).
F. **An individual that walks for 8 hours burns more than 1,000 calories.**
- This statement would also be true based on a rate of 120 calories/hour, as 8 hours would burn 960 calories (which is not more than 1,000).
Given this analysis, the two statements that apply are:
- **B. To burn 480 calories, an individual must walk for 4 hours.**
- **C. Walking burns calories at a rate of 120 calories per hour.**
Thus, B and C are the correct statements based on the assumptions.
