That involves calculating the decimal number to the thousandths place. And the average female human heart where is 8 ounces. What percent of a 125 pound woman's total body weight would The heart represent?

Respuesta :

First, convert the pounds to ounces. Since 16 ounces is 1 pound, 175 pounds is equal to 2800 ounces because 175*16=2800. To find the percentage of 11 ounces to 2800, divide 11 by 2800 and then you get 0.0039. Now you multiply that by 100 to get the percent and you get 0.39. So then the answer is 0.39%. For the woman you do the same thing except change the numbers. 125*16=2000. 8/2000 = 0.004 and then multiply that by 100 and you get 0.4. So the answer for the women is 0.4%. Hope that helped.
