The dietician instructs a client to consume 300 calories less per day. How many lbs. of weight can the client expect to lose in 2 months if this direction is followed?
1. 2 lbs.
2. 4 4/5 lbs.
3. 5 ΒΌ lbs.
4. 6 2/3 lbs.
2
Rationale 1: Lbs lost/2 months = 1 lb/3500 cals x 300 cals/1 day x 7 days/1 week x 8 weeks/1. Multiply the numerators (1 x 300 x 7 x 8 = 16,800). Multiply the denominators (3500 x 1 x 1 x 2 = 3500). 16800/3500 = 4.8 (8/10 = 4/5) = 4 4/5 lbs.
