Question

If the average person needs 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight and Tim needs 25% more protein than the average individual does in order to support his fitness goals, how much protein does he need per gram body weight?

Answer 1

Answer:

Protein required for Tim in order to support his fitness goals = 1 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of protein needed for average person = 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram weight

Tim needs 25% more protein than the average individual does in order to support his fitness goals.

Protein required for Tim in order to support his fitness goals

                       $=0.8+\frac{25}{100}\times 0.8=0.8+0.2=1$

Protein required for Tim in order to support his fitness goals = 1 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight

Answer 2

Answer    

Find out the how much protein does Tim need per gram body weight in   order to support his fitness goals .

To proof

As given  

If the average person needs 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight

Tim needs 25% more protein

Now 25% is written in the decimal form.

$= \frac{25}{100}$

= 0.25

Than

Tim needs protein per kilogram of body weight = 0.8 + 0.8 × 0.25

                                                                    = 1

1 kilogram = 1000 gram

Now for the gram body weight

$Tim\ needs\per\ gram\ of\ body\ weight = \frac{0.8+0.8\times0.25}{1000}$

solving the above

= 0.0001 gram of protein tim needs

Hence proved
