Question

Running on a particular treadmill you burn a specific number of calories per minute. Write a python program that uses a loop (you must use a loop) to display the number of minutes (as an integer) it will take to burn greater than or equal to 100 calories. For example (user input indicated in bold):

SAMPLE 1:

How many calcories burned per minute? 54.3
2 minutes

SAMPLE 2:

How many calcories burned per minute? 4.3
24 minutes

SAMPLE 3:

How many calcories burned per minute? 25
4 minutes

HINT:

Keep a counter of the number of minutes elapsed as well as the amount of calories burned. When the calories burned exceed 100, report the number of minutes :)

Answer 1

import math;

#while(1) means loop runs continuously
while(1):
    
    #takes calories burned per minutes from user
    cal_per_min = float(input("How many calcories burned per minute? "))
    
    #calculates minutes required to burn calories greater than or equal to 100
    #math.ceil() will return the ceiling value of the division (100/cal_per_min)
    minute = math.ceil(100 / cal_per_min) ;
    
    #prints minutes
    print(minute , "minutes")
