    Given:

    Calorie intake per day = 2,000 kcal

    Energy requirement for running = 42,000 J/minute

    Note:

    1 kcal = 4184 J

    Therefore the daily caloric intake is

    (2000 kcal) * (4184 J/kcal) = 8.368 x 10⁶ J

    25 % of the daily caloric intake is

    0.25 * (8.368 x 10⁶ J/day) = 2.092 x 10⁶ J

    To utilize these calories at a consumption rate of 42,000 J per minute requires

    (2.092 x 10⁶ J) / (42,000 J/min) = 49.8 minutes.

    Answer: 49.8 minutes (50 minutes approximately)
