Answer:

0.101

Step-by-step explanation:

For the man:

• Weight = 180 lbs

,

• Time, t= 1 hour

,

• Number of beers, n=5

,

• g=0.68

Using the given formula, we have that:


\begin{gathered} b=-0.015t+(2.84n)/(wg) \\ =-0.015(1)+(2.84*5)/(180*0.68) \\ =-0.015+(14.2)/(122.4) \\ =0.101 \end{gathered}

The blood alcohol content is 0.101.
