A person will burn 16 calories in 15 minutes to produce 268.05 watts of power. how much power would be produced in 30 minutes if 32 calories were burned

Question

I'm really bad at math and I'm super bad with word problems.. Can someone please help!

Answer 1

For 268.05 watts of power, you must burn 16/15 cal/min or 1.07 cal/min

 

Therefore, there are 268.05/1.07 watts/(cal/min)  =

250.51 watts/(cal/min)

 

To find the watts for 32 calories burned in 30 minutes, then you multiply by this conversion factor

 

(250.51 watts/(cal/min)) (32 cal/min) = 8016.32 watts
