Answer 1

Sally (a girl) wants to know what his IBW is. She is 5'7", what is her IBW?

IBW or ideal body weight is given by the formula:

Males: IBW = 50 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch over 5 feet.
Females: IBW = 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch over 5 feet.

Since Sally is a girl, her IBW= 45.5Kg + 2.3 x7 inches= 45.5 + 16.1=61.6kg

We know that 1kg=2.2 pounds

So 61.6 kg x 2.2=135.52 pounds

So the answer is C.135 pounds

d. Eat a variety of foods from all food groups

The food label is removing the "calories from fat" on the label because the type of fat eaten is not as important as the quality of the fat.

False. The calories from fat is being removed from food labels because the label is already showing the total calories obtained from one serving and includes the calories obtained from fat and other nutrients that may be present in that food item,such as carbohydrates and protein. So including calories from fat does not provide any useful information.
