Question

Calculate the weight of an individual who uses 69.75 g of protein based on the 0.45 factor. How much does he weigh?

Answer 1

The question tells us that an individual is consuming 69.75 grams of protein per day, and he is using the factor 0.45. Therefore, 69.75 grams / 0.45 = 155.

This individual weights 155 pounds.

Answer 2

weight of an individual is 155 pounds.

Explanation:

An individual is using 69.75 g of protein based on the factor of 0.45.

Factor 0.45 means, 0.45 g protein per pound body weight per day requirement for any individual.

Now we can calculate the body weight of an individual who is using 69.75 g protein per day.

By unitary method.

∵ 0.45 g of protein is required by an individual weighing = 1 pound

∴ 1 g of protein will be required by an individual weighing =
`(1)/(0.45)` pounds

∴ 69.75 g of protein required by an individual weighing =
`(69.75)/(0.45)=155` pounds

Therefore, 155 pounds is the weight.
