Question

Suppose that an individual has a body fat percentage of 13.9% and weighs 153 pounds. How many pounds of her weight is made up of fat? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

W = weight of person = 153 lb

x = fat % = 13.9% or 0.139 lb fat/lb 

F = lb fat

 

F = x*W = (0.139)*(153) = 21.267 = 21.3 lb fat    (rounded to nearest tenth)
