Use the data in the table below to determine how many average candy bars an adult would have to eat to supply the energy needed for three hours of running

Solution

energy needed for 1hour of running =4.4 *10⁶

energy needed for 3hours of running =3*4.4 *10⁶

energy released by 1 candy bar =1*10⁶

number of candy bars needed to eat to supply enough energy =(3*4.4 *10⁶)/(1*10⁶)

number of candy bars needed to eat to supply enough energy =3*4.4 /1

number of candy bars needed to eat to supply enough energy =13.2

the adult would have to 13 average candy bars
