Given:
Thomas= 657 calories in 2 ½ hours
Marvin = 1,035 calories in 3 ¼ hours
Determine who burned the most calories per hour.
Solution:
In order to determine the one who burned the most calories, we simply must find the calories burned by each individual by dividing the total number of calories burned with the time it took to burn that calories.
Thomas
= 657 calories/ 2.5hours
= 262.8 calories/hour
Marvin
= 1035 calories/3.25 hours
= 318.45 calories/hour
Final answer:
Marvin burned the most calories per hour with a total of 318.45 calories per hour.
