Answer 1

Joe will burn 32 pounds in 4 months at this rate

From the question, we are told that Joe is losing 2 pounds per week. This can be expressed as:

1 week = 2pounds

In order to know the number of pounds he will lose in 4 months at this rate, we can write:

16 weeks (4 months) x

Divide both expressions to have:

1/16 = 2/x

1 * x = 2 * 16

x = 32 pounds

This means that Joe will burn 32 pounds in 4 months at this rate
