Answer: A. 750

Explanation:

Firstly convert Miguels weight to kg, 250 pounds = 113.40kg

If Miguel burns 0.044kcal/kg of his body weight/minute, therefore the total calorie burnt by Miguel for a single walk = 0.044×30×113.40 = 149.69kcal for a single day

Thus, for the five days Miguel will burn ; 149.69 × 5 = 748.45kcal.

Approximately 750 kcal
