Answer 2

Answer:

Calories burned in a day is $8820$ $cal$.

Explanation:

• MET is a measure of our metabolic activity level related to our resting digestive rate.
• Metabolic rate is the level of energy consumed per unit of time.
• It is one way to describe the intensity of an exercise or activity.

Calories burned is related to MET value as:

$C=\frac{MET * 3.5 * W}{200}$

where, $C$ is burned calories in a minute.

           $W$ is body weight in kilogram.

           $MET$ is the given MET's value.

Step 1:

The weight is $70$ kg.

$W=70$ $kg$

$MET=5.0$

Calories burned per minute $=\frac{5.0 * 3.5 * 70}{200}$  $cal/min$

                                              $=6.125$  $cal/min$

Step 2:

As the number of minutes in a day $=24 * 60$ $min$

                                                         $= 1440$ $min$

So, calories burned in a day $= (6.125 cal/min) * (1440 min)$

                                               $=8820$ $cal$

So, per day calories burned is $8820$ $cal$.
