5% of 1200 calories is 60 calories.

If he wants to burn 60 calories and walking on the treadmill for an hour burns 200 calories, then you can set up a prportion:

60 cal 200 cal
---------- = ------------
x mins 60 mins

Cross multiply to get 3600=200x

x=18

He would have to walk for 18 minutes in order to burn 5% of the calories he consumed for lunch.
