Question

10. Running burns 760 Calories per hour. If you run for 30 minutes and your body burns only carbohydrate during this time, how many grams of carbohydrate will be consumed?

Answer 1

Given, amount of calories burned per = 760 cal time = 30 min Amount of energy produced per gram is as follows: 1g fat= 9 Cal 1g carbohydrate = 4 Cal 1g protein = 4 Cal Here the given condition is only carbohydrate burns during running. Calculate the mass of carbohydrate consumed as follows: mass of carbohydrate = Cal produced per hour x time xmass of carbohydrae per cal 760 Cal 20 i 1g carbohydrate 1hr 4 Cal 60 min = 95g carbohydrate Ihr *30 min x 1g carbohyd Therefore, the required solution is 195g|carbohydrate.
