This question involves the concepts of energy, weight, and time.

It will take Charles "9.7 days" to lose 5.0 lb.

TIME TO LOSE WEIGHT

Since the loss of 1.0 lb weight requires expending 3500 kcal energy. Therefore, by using the unitary method,

1.0 lb loss = 3500 kcal

(5)(1.0) lb loss = (5)(3500 kcal)

5.0 lb loss = 17500 kcal ----- eqn(1)

Now, the time required to consume 1800 kcal is 1 day. Hence, by the unitary method,

1800 kcal = 1 day

1 kcal = [tex]\frac{1}{1800}\ day[/tex]

17500 kcal = [tex]\frac{17500}{1800}[/tex] day

17500 kcal = 9.7 days ------ eqn(2)

Comparing eqn (1) and eqn (2)

5.0 lb loss = 9.7 days
