Question

3. The winner of the Biggest Loser lost .952 ounce per hour. Convert this to pounds per week

Answer 1

14,691.60518‬ pounds per week

Answer 2

`\boxed{\text{10.0 lb/wk}}`

Explanation:

1. Calculate the number of days

1 week = 7 da

2. Convert days to hours

24 h = 1 da

`\text{No. of hours}= \text{7 da} * \frac{\text{24 h}}{\text{1 da}} = \text{168 h}`

3. Convert hours to ounces

1h = 0.952 oz

`\text{No. of ounces} = \text{168 h} * \frac{\text{0.952 oz}}{\text{1 h}} = \text{159.9 oz}`

4. Convert ounces to pounds

1 lb = 16 oz

`\text{No. of hours}= \text{7 da} * \frac{\text{24 h}}{\text{1 da}} = \text{168 h}`}

`\text{ The biggest loser lost }\boxed{\textbf{10.0 lb/wk}}`
