Your center is showing signs of dehydration. He weighed 270 pounds before practice and now, after practice, he weighs 264 pounds. How many ounces of fluid must he drink to regain the weight that he lost through sweating?

A. 54
B. 72
C. 90
D. 118
E. 144

Answer :

Among the given options, the closest choice is 90 ounces (option c). However, the accurate choice is 96 ounces.

To determine the amount of fluid the center needs to drink to regain the weight lost through sweating, we need to calculate the weight difference in ounces.

1 pound is equivalent to 16 ounces.

Weight lost = 270 pounds - 264 pounds

= 6 pounds

Weight lost in ounces = 6 pounds * 16 ounces/pound

= 96 ounces

Therefore, the center needs to drink 96 ounces of fluid to regain the weight lost through sweating.
