    2.25 hours for the man and 1.83 hours for the woman.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We first find the number of calories consumed by both the man and the woman.

    The man's calories are:

    750+400+225 = 1375

    The woman's calories are:

    370+400+0 = 770

    The man burns 610 calories per hour. This means to find the number of hours, we divide the number of calories by the rate burned per hour:

    1375/610 = 2.25 hours

    The woman burns 770 calories per hour. This means to find the number of hours, we divide the number of calories by the rate burned per hour:

    770/420 = 1.83 hours
