Best Answer

first you need to convert your units (your weight is in Kilograms and the bacteria is in pounds)

if you convert to pounds (then multiply the 54.4 kilograms times 2.2) then you weight is about 120 pounds (this is rounded).

to find percentage of bacteria, divide 3.3 pounds by 120 pounds and multiply by 100 [(3.3/120) x 100] = 2.75%

so 2.75 percent of your body weight is intestinal bacteria

To find the percentage of your body weight that is intestinal bacteria, first convert 3.3 pounds to kilograms (1 pound is approximately 0.45 kilograms). The weight of your intestinal bacteria is about 1.5 kilograms. Divide the weight of your intestinal bacteria by your total body weight (1.5 kg / 54.4 kg), then multiply by 100 to get the percentage. In this case, the intestinal bacteria makes up around 2.76% of your body weight.
