Question
if the loss of 3500 is equal to a loss of 1.0lb, how many days will it take Charles to loss 5.0lb? Express the time in days to two significant figures.
Explanation / Answer
Accordong to the given information,
total calories he takes = 220 + 550 = 770 kcal
total calories he consumes = 1000 kcal
Then number of calories he loses per day = 1000 - 770 = 230 kcal
It is given that, 1.0 lb = 3500 kcal
then, 5.0 lb = 3500 * 5.0 = 17500 kcal
He loses 230 kcal per day
then, he loses 17500 kcal in 17500 / 230 = 76.0 days
