Would someone please help me? Ravi decides to eliminate just 100 calories per day from his diet. He knows that each pound of body fat equals 3500 calories. How long will it take for Ravi to lose 10 pounds?

Answer:

350 days

Explanation:

If Ravi is eliminating 100 calories per day, and one pound of body fat is 3500 calories, then it will take him 35 days to lose one pound of body fat.

Multiply 35 by 10 to find how long it will take for him to lose 10 pounds:

35(10)

= 350

So, it will take him 350 days to lose 10 pounds.
