200

Explanation:

The ratio is calories per minute, or cal/min. The value is 10 cal/1 min. Setting up a ratio equality to find the change at a different time we have:

10cal/1min = ?cal/20min.

Now we do the math – multiply both sides by 20 min:

20min * 10cal/1min = ?cal/20min * 20 min

The minute dimensions cancel out, leaving us with

200 cal = ?cal. So, a 20-minute jog will use 200 calories.
