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. Assuming the weight loss happened at a constant rate, about how many pounds did the group lose each day?

8.8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Combined weight loss which occurred within a week = 28 kg

Number of days in a week = 7 days

1 kilogram (kg) = 2.2 pounds

Combined weight loss in pounds that occurs within a week:

Weight loss in kg × 2.2

28kg * 2.2 = 61.6 pounds

Assume weight loss occurred at a constant rate :

Weight lost by the group per day :

(Total weight loss / number of days in a week)

(61.6 pounds / 7)

= 8.8 pounds daily

answer: 25 is the correct answer
