Question

When he runs, Marcel burns 7.68 cal/s. How many kcal/min does he burn??

Answer 1

Given: Marcel burns 7.68 cal/s while running

To find: Calories burned by him in Kcal/min

Method: Conversion of cal to kcal by dividing the given number with 1000 and seconds to minutes by dividing the numerator by 60.

Solution:

Calories burned by Marcel while running in calories per second = 7.68 cal/s

Calories burned by Marcel while running in kilo calories per minute =  $\frac{7.68}{1000\times60}$ = 0.000128

Hence Marcel burns 0.000128 Kcal/min while running.
