Susie weights 120 pounds How many calories will she burn if

Susie weights 120 pounds. How many calories will she burn if she runs for 1 hour?

Solution

The formula for burning of calories per mile , while running is 0.75* weight in pound. Here, Susie weighs 120 pounds so the calories burnt per mile of running is 0.75*120 = 90 calories per mile. Susie\'s running speed has not been stated, but the average running speed of a person is 5 to 6 miles per hour. If Susie runs at 5 miles per hour, then she would burn 90* 5 = 450 calories in 1 hour of running.
