Answer:

Weight of fat (to the nearest tenth) = 23.4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Total weight of the individual = 183 pounds

Percentage of body fat = 12.8%

Out of the total weight of 183 pounds 12.8% is fat.

Therefore, to find the weight of fat we need to multiply the total weight of the individual by the percentage of body fat,

Weight of Fat = $183*\frac{12.8}{100} =23.424$ pounds

Weight of fat (to the nearest tenth) = 23.4 pounds
