Answer key: Calories Burned worksheet

1. Calories burned (estimate): 85 kcal
1. Change the minutes to hours, because MET values are per hour
  $\frac{34 min}{60}$ $= 0.5667 h$
2. Multiply the MET value by your weight in kg and the hours to get calories, using 1.3 MET for sitting quietly
  $1.3 \times 115 kg \times 0.5667 h$ $= 84.7 kcal$
3. Divide the total by the minutes to see calories per minute
  $\frac{84.7}{34}$ $= 2.49 kcal/min$
4. Multiply MET by minutes to get MET-minutes, a common way to add up activity across workouts
  $1.3 \times 34$ $= 44.2$
2. Calories burned (estimate): 147 kcal
1. Change your weight to kilograms, because the MET formula works in kilograms (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly)
  $135 lb \times 0.453592$ $= 61.235 kg$
2. Change the minutes to hours, because MET values are per hour
  $\frac{24 min}{60}$ $= 0.4 h$
