To calculate the total calories from the candy bar, we use the nutritional values: 4 Cal/g for protein, 9 Cal/g for fat, and 4 Cal/g for carbohydrates. Thus, the total calories = (3g * 4 Cal/g) + (12g * 9 Cal/g) + (28g * 4 Cal/g) = 12 + 108 + 112 = 232 Cal. Since walking burns 280 Cal/h, the time to burn 232 Cal is (232 Cal / 280 Cal/h) = 0.82857 h, which is approximately 50 minutes when converted to minutes (0.82857 h * 60 minutes/h).
