Question

Buffalo Bill currently weighs 202 lb. He wants to weigh 180 lbs for his reunion which is 35 days from today. How many pounds per week must he lose?

Answer 1

He must lose 4.4 pounds per week.

Explanation:

Buffalo Bill currently weighs 202 lb. He wants to weigh 180 lbs for his reunion.

This means that he needs to lose 202 - 180 = 22 lb.

35 days from today.

Each week has 7 days. So this is 35/7 = 5 weeks from now.

How many pounds per week must he lose?

22 pounds in 5 weeks, that is 22/5 = 4.4 pounds per week.
