i did the math

and in 20 days I have lost 6 pounds. if you do the math on that one..

6/20= .3


here is a word problem for you...


a woman wieghs 166 pounds. if she loses, on average, 1/3 lb per day and her goal wieght is 140 lbs, how much longer until she reachers her goal?

well in this case you would make the figure cleaner and easier to work with. instead of 1/3 per day, you said one pound every three days

so then it would be

3 days = 1lb

the difference between 140 and 166

166-140= 26


so we know that every 3 days i lose a pound and I have 26 lbs to lose.


if i lost a pound a day then it would take 26 days. if i lost a pound every other day it would take 52 days. but since i will only be losing a pound once every three days it will look more like this:

26*3 = 78.

78 days people.


78 days until glory.
