bill weighs 150lbs. he wants to gain 2lbs per week for football season. Jamal runs track. He wants to loose weight so he can run faster. Jamal weighs 195lbs and wants to loose 1lb per week. How many weeks will it take before both of them are the same weight?

Respuesta :

It would take 11.5 weeks because the weight in between the two people is 45 pounds. The both lose weight at a constant rate so they would need to lose 22.5 pounds each. 22.5/ the amount of pounds per week(2) is 11.5 weeks
