Question

Ashton left his house and ran 4 miles east and then 3 miles north. He then took the diagonal path back home. If he burned 105 calories every mile that he ran, how many total calories did he burn on his run?

Answer 1

Answer:

1470

Step-by-step explanation:

4 + 3 = 7 + 7 = 14

105 × 14 = 1470

He ran 4 miles east and then 3 miles north. Since he burned calories using the diagonal line, he will burn calories from there as well. So, that's an extra 7 miles. To clarify, he burned a total of 1,470 calories on his run.
