To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total energy needed to walk 5 km. Given that 150 kJ of energy is required to walk 1 km, we can calculate the energy needed for 5 km as follows: \[ \text{Energy for 5 km} = 150 \, \text{kJ/km} \times 5 \, \text{km} = 750 \, \text{kJ} \] ...
