Step-by-step explanation:
we are given
A boxer needs to lose 3 1/2 kg in a month to be able to compete as a flyweight
so, weight need to lose
[tex]=3\frac{1}{2}kg[/tex]
[tex]=3.5kg[/tex]
In three weeks, he lovers his weight from 55.5 kg to 53.8 kg
so, lost weight is
[tex]=55.5-53.8kg[/tex]
[tex]=1.7kg[/tex]
So,
weight need to lose in final weeks = (weight need to lose)-( lost weight)
we can plug values
and we get
weight need to lose in final weeks is
[tex]=3.5-1.7[/tex]
[tex]=1.8[/tex]kg
In the final week he need to lose 1.8 kg to be able to compete as a flyweight.

In three weeks he lost 55.5 kg - 53.8 kg
Question:
How many kilograms must the boxer lose in the final week to be able to compete as a flyweight?
