To calculate this we should firstly calculate that how many laps can he do in an hour. So assuming that he does all the laps at the same rate he must do 120 laps in an hour.
Now because he burns 1200 calories per hour we can see how many number of hours it would take him to burn 15000 calories. So it would take him around 15000 / 1200 = 12.5 hours. So now we will multiply 12.5 by 120 laps as that is the number laps he can do in an hour. So that is around 1500 laps a day.

Answer: Choice D. 12,600 feet</h3>
============================================================
Explanation:
We have two similar triangles here, so we can set up the proportion below to solve for x
5200/(5200+6500) = 5600/x
5200/11700 = 5600/x
5200x = 11700*5600 .... cross multiply
5200x = 65,520,000
x = (65,520,000)/(5200)
x = 12,600 which shows why the answer is choice D
side note: 12,600 ft = 2.386 miles approximately
1/6 and 5/30 are equivalent. They are equivalent because is you divide 5/30 by 5, you will get 1/6.
Hope this helps!
