You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a rock climber burns 60 calories for every 5 minutes of rock climbing.
\n" ); document.write( "write a proportion on the lines below to determine how many calories a rock climber would burn in 7 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a proportion which says,\"5 min is to 7 min, as 60 cal is to x cal
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F7\" = \"60%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 7*60
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"420%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 84 calories
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "We can check the solution using a different method
\n" ); document.write( "Cal/min = 60/5 = 12 cal, hence 7 * 12 = 84
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
