Question

Sanjay weighs 185 pounds. At the shopping mall, Sanjay can use the stairs or take the escalator. In 30 minutes, how many more calories could Sanjay burn by climbing stairs than by standing on an escalator? Which activities did you choose from the list to arrive at your answer?

Answer 1

The correct answer would be 266 Calories.

Sanjay burns 266 calories by climbing stairs than by standing on an escalator.  

Explanation:

Sanjay is a male who weighs 185 pounds. If he climbs stairs instead of escalator for 30 minutes, he would burn 266 calories in total.

I chose Sanjay's weight and the time he spent climbing the stairs, to calculate the calories burnt due to climbing the stairs. Calories burnt are dependent upon the weight of the person and the time he spent on an activity to burn his calories.

So according to Harvard Health Publications, the person with 185 pounds will lose 266 calories in 30 mins of stair climbing.

Answer 2

Answer:

According to the article, in 30 minutes, Sanjay can burn about 210 more calories by climbing the stairs instead of riding the escalator. For climbing stairs, I used the calories burned using a stair step machine (general). For the escalator, I used the calories burned standing in line: 266 – 56 = 210 calories.
