Rationale 1: Current weight in lbs = 2.2 lbs/1 kg x 75 kg/1. Multiply the numerators (2.2 x 75 = 165). Multiply the denominators (1 x 1 = 1). 165/1 = 165 lbs. Previous weight in lbs = 2.2 lbs/1 kg x 80 kg/1. Multiply the numerators (2.2 x 80 = 176). Multiply the denominators (1 x 1 = 1). 176/1 = 176 lbs. 176 lbs – 165 lbs = 11 lbs lost.
