Question

Suppose you have a friend named Leah. Her current weight is 270 pounds but she wants to lose weight at a healthy rate so she can better maintain weight loss. If she follows the "10%" guideline, how much weight (in pounds) should she aim to lose in a 6 month period?

Answer 1

Answer:

She would have lost 108 pounds of weight within the space of 6 months following the 10% guide

Explanation;

Leah Current weight is 270 pounds,

If she follows the 10% guide of doing healthy exercises and jobs that would make her lose 10% of her weight,

10% of her weight 270 = 27

if she loses 27 pounds of weight every month consistently,

After 6 month, she would  have lost = 108 pounds of weight (27 x 6)

I.e she should aim at losing 27 pounds of weight every month.

After six month her weight will be at 162 pounds (i.e 270-108 = 162)
