  If doing 100 situps in a period of 15 minutes causes you to burn approximately 60 calories, how much calories will you burn if you did 40 situps in 1 minute?

  100 sit ups in 1 minute will burn 900 calories (cal x 15 -- doing 15mins' work in 1 min)

  40 sit ups in 1 minute will burn 360 calories (divide by 2.5 -- doing less situps in 1 min)

   

  logically not realistic though

  24 calories. calories is one kind of energy not power. It has no relation with time. Calories has only relation with how many situps you do. Hence, 60 calories / 100 situps * 40 situps = 24 calories
