Answer 2

Answer : A person walk to burn off a scoop of ice cream is, 3.0 miles

Step-by-step explanation :

First we have to determine the time taken to burn calories.

As, 3 calories burn in 1 minutes

So, 175 calories burn in $\frac{175\text{ calories}}{3\text{ calories}}\times 1\text{ minutes}=58.33\text{ minutes}$

Now we have to determine the distance traveled by a person.

As, the distance traveled in 20 minutes = 1 mile

So. the distance traveled in 58.33 minutes = $\frac{58.33\text{ minutes}}{20\text{ minutes}}\times 1\text{ mile}=2.916\text{ mile}\approx 3.0\text{ mile}$

Thus, a person walk to burn off a scoop of ice cream is, 3.0 miles.
