Answer:

The individual has 36.09 pounds of body fat.

Explanation:

Given that an individual has a body fat percentage of 19.3% and weighs 187 pounds, to determine how many pounds of her weight is made up of fat the following calculation must be performed:

(187 x 19.3) / 100 = X

3.609.1 / 100 = X

36.091 = X

Therefore, the individual has 36.09 pounds of body fat.
