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. Assuming the weight loss happened at a constant rate, about how many pounds did the group lose each day?
8.8 pounds
12.7 pounds
61.6 pounds
89.1 pounds
The group lost a combined total of 28 kilograms in 1 week. Since there are approximately 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram, the group lost a combined total of 28 * 2.2 = 61.6 pounds in 1 week.
To find out how many pounds the group lost each day, divide the total weight loss (61.6 pounds) by the number of days in the week (7):
61.6 pounds / 7 days = 8.8 pounds
Therefore, the group lost approximately 8.8 pounds each day.
The answer is 8.8 pounds.
