<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Nelson burned the most calories per hour
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
To solve this question, we will get the amount calories burned by each in one hour and then compare the two values
To do this, we will divide the total amount of calories burned by the total time
<u>1- For Sabra:</u>
We are given that she burnt 845 calories in (which is equivalent to 3.25) hours
<u>Therefore:</u>
Calories burnt in an hour = calories/hour
<u>2- For Nelson:</u>
We are given that he burnt 1435 calories in (which is equivalent to 4.875) hours
<u>Therefore:</u>
Calories burnt in an hour = calories/hour
<u>3- Comparing the two values:</u>
From the above calculations, <u>we can deduce that</u> Nelson burned the most calories per hour
Hope this helps :)
Since ABCD is a parallelogram, line AB and line DC are parallel and has the same value.
To solve this, equate line AB to be equal with line DC.
So,
Line AB = Line DC
(9x-14)in = (3x +4)in
Next group like terms to get the value of x
9x in-3x in = 4in+14in
= 
x = 3in
Since, we now have the value of x, substitute it to line DC’s equation.
DC=(3x+4)in
DC=(3(3) +4)in
DC=(9 +4) in
DC= 13 in
To check if the value is really correct, substitute X to AB
AB=(9x -14)in
AB=(9(3)-14)in
AB=(27-14)in
AB=13 in
To solve this, equate line AB to be equal with line DC.
So,
Line AB = Line DC
(9x-14)in = (3x +4)in
Next group like terms to get the value of x
9x in-3x in = 4in+14in
x = 3in
Since, we now have the value of x, substitute it to line DC’s equation.
DC=(3x+4)in
DC=(3(3) +4)in
DC=(9 +4) in
DC= 13 in

AB=(9(3)-14)in
AB=(27-14)in
AB=13 in
