<PRE><B>Question 1206191</B>
you burn 345 calories hiking for 45 minutes.
assuming the calorie burn rate is the same throughout any longer hike, then you are turning calories at the rate of 345/45 calories per minute.


if you are hiking for 6 hours, then you will burn 345/45 calories per minute for 6 * 60 = 360 minutes.
the total number of calories consumed would be 345/45 per minute for 360 minutes = 2760 calories.


if the special beverage gives you 310 calories per pack, and you want to replace all of the calories consumed, then you would need to take 2760 / 310 = 9 packs of beverage.


if you only want to replace 1/3 of the calories consumed, then you would need to take (2760 / 3) / 310 = 3 packs of beverage.


9 packs of beverage would give you 310 * 9 = 2790 calories, which is more than the 2760 consumed.


3 packs of beverage would give you 310 * 3 = 930 calories, which is more than the 2760/3 = 920 calories consumed.


let me know if you have any questions.
