Answer:

The answer is B, lose 10 pounds in 3.

Explanation:

Losing weight isn't easy and to be reasonable, faster isn't always better in that  matter. Losing 10 pounds in 6 months is under achieving, losing 60 in six months is unreasonable, and losing 20 in six is underachieving as well. So, the answer is B.

The answer is: B. Lose 10 pounds in three months.

BMI is calculated with this formula:

\frac{Weight in Kilograms}{height-in-meter^{2}  }

This mean that for a 1. 65 meter (5'5'')  tall student to obtain a BMI of 28, the weight must be

weight = BMI x 1.65^2

weight = 28 x 2.7225

weight = 76.23 kilograms.


Normal BMI range is 18  -  25


To reach a BMI of 25, the student's weight must be

'weight =  25 x 1.65^2

weight  = 68 kilograms


Total weight that the student need to lose

= 76.23 kg -  68 kg

= 8.23 kg     or       18.14 pound



Healthy amount of weight to lose is around 1  pounds per week. So, the student need around  18 weeks to lose all the weight.

Because of this, losing 10 pound in three months (12 weeks)  is a good benchmark since it provide realistic timing and expectation for the student.

The reason for fire is becuase it mention that he makes sure the oxygen tanks are properly stored. Well certain chemicals (when mixed with oxygen) can cuase a fire, therefore fire is a good answer for rather it's a two options answer or just one. Hope this helps!

Whether it is cloudy or not you should always wear suncreen because it protects you from the rays of sun. Although you don't feel any different when it is a nice day and the sun isn't buning you, the sun is still affecting you with it's rays. Sunscreen protects you from teh rays.

Which of the following is NOT one of the potential complications associated with taking hormonal contraceptives?
Vinil7 [7]

The right answer is seizure.

The cardiovascular risk attributed to the pill is discussed. But an analysis of the published literature brings convincing elements on this subject.

All combined contraceptive pills, that is to say combining the two hormones estrogen and progesterone, are associated with a risk of venous thrombosis (blood clot).
