Question

A group of fitness club members lose a combined total of 28 kilograms in 1 week. There are approximately 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram l. Assuming the weight loss happened at a constant rate, about how many pounds did the group lose each day?

Answer 1

Answer: 8.8 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to divide the total weight loss in a week (28 kg) by 7 (days in a week).

28 /7 = 4 kg per day

The group lost 4 kg each day.

Finally we have to convert the result into pounds.

Since 1 kg = 2.2 pounds

4 kg x 2.2 = 8.8 pounds.
