If a person burns 700 cals per hour, how man cals will they burn in 35 minutes?

Answer 1

One way to solve this problem is to divide 700 by 60 minutes to find the number of calories burned each minute.

700/60 = 11 and 2/3 or 11.67

Multiply 11.67 by 35.

11.67 * 35 = 408.45

Another way to solve this problem is to take 35/60 -- 7/12 -- of 700
7/12 * 700 = 4900/12 = 408.33

The difference in the two answers is due to rounding.
