The table shows the relationship between the number of calories Raquel burns while hiking and the number of minutes she hikes. How many calories will Raquel burn in 1 minute while hiking?

5 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by calculating the rate at which Raquel burns calories while hiking.

This can be obtained as follow:

Calories burned = 225 calories

Time = 45 mins

Rate =?

In this case, the Rate is simply defined as calories per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Rate = Calorie/time

With the above formula, we can obtain the rate at which Raquel burns calories as follow:

Calories burned = 225 calories

Time = 45 mins

Rate =?

Rate = Calorie/time

Rate = 225/45

Rate = 5 cal/min

Therefore, Raquel burns Calories at a rate of 5 cal/min.

Now, we shall determine the calories burned by Raquel in 1 minutes. This is illustrated below:

Rate = 5 cal/min

Time= 1 min

Calorie =.?

Rate = Calorie /time

5 = Calorie /1

Cross multiply

Calorie = 5 x 1

Calorie = 5

Therefore, Raquel burns 5 calories in 1 minute while hiking.
