Question

A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special diet to gain weight rapidly. He gained weight at a constant rate.

Answer 1

Finding the rate of the weight gain, we divide the total weight gained with the total number of months that took to gain that weight.

Total time (months) = 0.5 + 2 + 3.5 = 6 months

Total weight (kg) = 80.6 + 88.4 + 96.2 = 265.2 kilograms

Rate = Kg ÷ Months

Rate = 265.2 ÷ 6 = 44.2

44.2 kilograms per month​
