Biking, walking (3-5 miles per hour) = 300 calories
Soccer, jogging (4-5 miles per hour) = 400 calories
Swimming, skiing) = 500 calories
Running (5-7 miles per hour )= 650 calories
the questions are:

The answers will depend on your weight.
Let's assume your weight is x lbs.
Let's also assume your chosen exercise is walking 3-5 mph.
Proportion:
calories/300 = x/150
---
Put your weight in for "x", then solve the proportion of "calories".
