Spencer wants to burn 450 calories while biking. Biking burns about 10 calories per minute. When Spencer goes biking, he usually
plans to stop and rest for about 15 minutes. Complete the equation below to find the total number of minutes (including rest) that Spencer should plan to be out biking. Use to represent the total minutes.
450/10 is 45. Therefore, biking for 45 minutes will loose 450 calories, 10 calories per minute. Maybe half way during the 45 minutes Spencer will take the 15 minute rest. This brings the biking trip 60 minutes.
