a. 5 miles
b. 10 miles
c. 25 miles
d. 35 miles
Answer: d. 35 miles
Based on the amount of energy that is stored in one pound of fat, you would have to run 35 miles in order to burn enough calories to lose a pound of fat. This is because there are 3500 calories stored in a pound of fat, which is where most of the body's unused (excess) energy is stored.
