​

Answer 1

Given,

The proteins in a person weigh 12 kilograms.

To find,

The approximate weight of that person.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

According to the research based data, a healthy adult person has a total of 15.1% of body weight in the form of protein. We will follow this data for our mathematical calculation.

Let, the body weight = x kg

Protein = x × 15.1/100 = 15.1x/100 kg

According to the data mentioned in the question,

15.1x/100 = 12

x = 12 × 100/15.1

x = 1200/15.1

x = 79.47

Hence, the approximate weight of that person will be 79.47 kilograms.
