Question

Helps solve the following,

A boxer needs to lose 3 1/2 kg i
a month to be able to compete as a flyweight. In three weeks , he lowers his weight from 55.5 kg to 53 .8 kg. how many kilograms must the boxer lose in the final week o be able to compete as a flyweight?

Answer 1

The boxer must lose 1.8 kg in the final week to compete as a flyweight.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of kilograms the boxer must lose in the final week,

we need to calculate the total weight loss in three weeks and subtract it from the total weight loss required in a month.

The boxer lost a total of 55.5 kg - 53.8 kg = 1.7 kg in three weeks.

In a month, the boxer needs to lose 3 1/2 kg = 3.5 kg.

Since three weeks have already passed, there is only one week left for the boxer to achieve the total weight loss required.

The boxer must lose 3.5 kg - 1.7 kg = 1.8 kg in the final week to be able to compete as a flyweight.
