The total amount of calories burnt in jogging 2 miles = 185 calories

We have to determine the number of calories burned in jogging 3 miles.

Firstly, we will determine the amount of calories burnt in jogging 1 mile. We will use unitary method to evaluate this.

So, the total amount of calories burnt in jogging 1 mile = $185 \div 2$

= 92.5 calories

So, the amount of calories burnt in 3 miles = $3 \times 92.5$

= 277.5 calories

Therefore, 277.5 calories are burned in jogging 3 miles.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

81.39% increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: There is change in number from 43 to 78.

First lets find the amount of change or difference in number.

Difference in number= $78-43= 35$

∴ Difference in number show that there is an increase of 35 number.

Now, finding the percent change in the number.

Percent= $\frac{Difference\ in\ number}{base\ number} \times 100$

⇒ Percent change in number= $\frac{35}{43} \times 100= 81.39\%$

∴ 81.39% increase in the number.

To find slope subtract the two points in the coordinate (y). We have 8 and 4 so subtract those two. You get 8-4=4. Now start from the same coordinate expect this time subtract (x). Which is 9-3=6. You have 4/6 simplify and you get 2/3. Your slope is 2/3. Hope this helps
