Question #e47b0

Answer 1

A person who loses 10.0 lb/month loses 1.75 mg/s.

Convert pounds to milligrams:

`10.0 lb × (1 kg)/(2.205 lb) × (1000 g)/(1 kg) × (1000 mg)/(1 g) = 4.54 × 10^6 mg`

Convert months to seconds:

`1.00 month × (30 days)/(1 month) × (24 h)/(1 day) × (60 min)/(1 h) × (60 s)/(1 min)` =

`2.59 × 10^6 s`

∴ `(10.0 lb)/(1 month) = (4.54 × 10^6 mg)/(2.59 × 10^6 s)` = 1.75 mg/s
