The group lost 8.8 pounds each day
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, 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
From given,
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds
<em><u>Convert 28 kilograms to pounds</u></em>
So, the club members lose 61.6 pound in 1 week
Assuming the weight loss happened at a constant rate
We know that,
1 week = 7 days
So, the club members lose 61.6 pounds in 7 days
Let "x" be the number of pounds lost in 1 day
Then, we get,
7 days = 61.6 pounds
1 day = "x" pounds
This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying
Thus the group lost 8.8 pounds each day
