4. The number of calories burned while dancing
varies directly to the time spent. It takes 25
min to burn 110 calories. How long would it
take to burn 176 calories when dancing?
6. The number of minutes it takes to burn, 𝑡𝑡,
varies inversely with the UV rating, 𝑢𝑢. At a UV
rating of 4, those people who are less
sensitive to the sun will burn in 75 min. How
long will it take less sensitive people to burn
when the UV rating is 10?
