Answer:
11.25min
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we first need to find the rate at which syn burns calories per minute
so in 15mins, he burns 200 calories
in 1 mins he will burn x
x= 200/15
x=13.33 calories per min this is the rate
So in one minute he will burn 13.33 calories
Now using the idea of rate=quantity/time
the rate=13.33
quantity=15 calories
time=?
time=quantity/rate
time=150/13.33
time=11.25min
Alternatively
(very fast approach)
if syn spend 15min to burn 200 cal
then he will spend x min to burn 150 cal
cross multiply
x=(150*15)/200
x=2250/200
x=11.25mins
