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.

inna [77]

Answer:

Exposure

Explanation:

Being exposed to this violent environment/habitat contributes significantly to the behavior of the person witnessing it, as it is what they witness around them. If you've ever heard of the term "copycat" you'd know that it is based off of human adaptation to follow others when our brains are still developing to figure out who we are individually. That's why growing up in a good home environmental area is so important as it influences the way you perceive life.
