Answer: 21.4 lb

Explanation:

The question is asking how much weight consists of body fat.

We know that 13.2% of the total weight is body fat, and the total weight is 162 pounds.

Multiply to find out the body fat weight.

Percentage as a decimal over 1 * 162

0.132 * 162 = 21.384 lb

Round to nearest tenth: 21.4 lb

Answer: 21.4 pounds

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of weight that is made up of body fat, you need to multiply the weight by the body fat percentage.

Weight of body fat = 162 pounds x 13.2% = 21.384 pounds

Then, round it to the nearest tenth which is, 21.4

Therefore, approximately 21.4 pounds of the individual's weight is made up of body fat.
