A marathon runner is training for his next race. On his daily run he completes 21.6 mile and burns 2,274 calories. What is his rate of calories burned per mile?

Answer 1

To find the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total number of calories burned by the total number of miles run.

Rate of calories burned per mile = Total calories burned / Total miles run

Rate of calories burned per mile = 2274 calories / 21.6 miles

Rate of calories burned per mile ≈ 105.28 calories/mile

Therefore, the marathon runner burns approximately 105.28 calories per mile.
