Answer 2

Answer:

8.8 pounds per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a group of fitness club members lose a combined total of 28 kilograms in 1 week there are approximately 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram.

First of all, we will convert the weight loss into pounds by multiplying 28 by 2.2 as shown below:

$\text{Weight loss}=28\text{ kg}\times \frac{2.2\text{ pounds}}{\text{ kg}}$

$\text{Weight loss}=28\times 2.2\text{ pounds}$

$\text{Weight loss}=61.6\text{ pounds}$

Now, we will divide total weight loss by days in week to find weight loss per day.

$\text{Weight loss per day}=\frac{61.6\text{ pounds}}{7\text{ days}}$

$\text{Weight loss per day}=\frac{8.8\text{ pounds}}{\text{ day}}$

Therefore, the the group lost 8.8 pounds per day.
