Jenny will burn approximately 180 calories by jumping rope for 15 minutes, as we calculated from the rate of 720 calories per hour. We found the calories burned per minute and then applied that to her 15 minutes of jumping. This step-by-step breakdown shows how to go from total calories in an hour to calories burned in a shorter duration.
