If a 120 pound person burns 410 calories @12 miles per hour what would a 150 pound person burn

Question

If a 150 pound person burns 410 calories at 12mi/hr how many does a 120 pound person burn

Answer 1

first you can find the calories burned per pound

410 calories / 120 pounds = 3.42 calories per pound

then multiply by the new person's weight

3.42 calories per pound x 150 pounds = 513 calories

meaning that a 150-pound person would burn approximately 513 calories under the same conditions

Answer 2

I hope this is the full text of the question...

 

Assuming a direct relationship between weight and calories burned...

 

120/150 = 4/5

 

Therefore, if the 1250 person burned 410 cal and assuming that the 120 lb person also performed at 12 miles per hour and assuming he/she worked for the same period of time, then:

 

410 x 4/5 = 328 cal
