Question

A group of fitness club members lose a combined total of 28 kilograms in 1 week. There are approximately 2.3 pounds in 1 kilogram. Assuming the weight loss happened at a constant rate, about how many pounds did that group lose each day

Answer 1

Answer:

9.2 pounds per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first figure out how many kilograms the members lost each day.

A week has 7 days, which means that in a span of 7 days, the group lost 28 kilograms. Each day, then, they lost 28/7 = 4 kilograms.

Now convert kilograms to pounds:

1 kg = 2.3 lb

4 kg = ? lb

Multiply 2.3 by 4:

2.3 * 4 = 9.2

The answer is thus 9.2 pounds per day.
