Answer:
10 calories per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
We do not have much information to go on such as the speed that Tai is biking or his/her weight. Regardless we can use the data gathered by the University of Harvard which after a study came up with the following results. Their results showed that if an individual bikes at a speed of 13 mph and are around 155 pounds they will burn calories at a rate of 10 calories per minute. Therefore we can assume that Tai is burning roughly 10 calories per minute. This rate increases if the person bikes at a faster speed or weighs more as they are exerting more energy.
0.5 of a mile - since 5,280ft = 1 mile and half of 5,280 is 2,640
You just have to multiply. 6.2x1.609x5,280 which would give you 8501.72.
Alright assuming they mean total surface area since they didn't say lateral the equation to follow would be S= Ph + 2B
Start with P:
P stands for perimeter, so add up all the edges on one face of the cube.

Then your equation becomes
S= 68×h + 2B
h=height and that's obviously 17
so, S= 68×17 +2B
Now to find B. This is pretty easy. All you need to do is take 17×17 because you're finding the area of the base. This equals 289.
Finally this leaves us with the equation
S= 68×17+2×289
From there on you just solve it out.
This would leave you with 1734.
So basically i think you would 1,200*3.9%=46.8
then multiply 46.8*8= 374.4
