Answer:
The time required by the Athlete to work off 1.00 lb of body fat = 0.296 minute
Explanation:
1 lb of body fat = 4.1 k cal
1 k cal = 4.184 Kilo joule
1 lb of body fat = 4.1 × 4.184 = 17.1544 Kilo joule
Athlete expends 3480 Kilo joule in one hour
⇒ Time required to expand 3480 Kilo joule = 60 minute
⇒ Time required to expand 1 Kilo joule =

⇒ Time required to expand 17.1544 Kilo joule =
× 17.1544 = 0.296 min
Therefore the time required by the Athlete to work off 1.00 lb of body fat = 0.296 minute
