1. some athletes have as little as 3.0% body fat. if such a person has a body mass of 65 kg, how many pounds of body fat does that person have? in liposuction, a doctor removes fat deposits from a person’s body. if body fat has a density of 0.94 g/ml and 3.0 l of fat is removed, how many pounds of fat were removed from the patient?

4.299009 pounds of fat was present in the person's body.

6.2170284 pounds of fat were removed from the patient

Explanation:

Percentage of fat in the body = 3.05 of mass

Let the amount of fat be x

Mass of the athlete = 65 kg

x = 1.95 kg = 4.299009 pounds (1 kg = 2.20462 pounds)

4.299009 pounds of fat was present in the person's body.

Density of fat = 0.94 g/L

Volume of fat to be removed = V = 3.0 L = 3000 mL[/tex]

Let the mass of fat to be removed be y

y = 2,820 g = 2.820 kg=6.2170284 pounds

6.2170284 pounds of fat were removed from the patient
