Question 883033: The average 140-lb adult burns about 380 calories bicycling 10 miles at a moderate rate. how far should the average 140-lb adult ride in order to burn 100 calories? Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 380 calories per 10 miles
=
38 calories per 1 mile
so where x is the number of miles required
do cross products
38x = 100
divide each side by 38
x = 100/38
x = 50/19
x is approximately 2.63 miles
