Respuesta :
if todays hip implant weighed about 50% less then it did 20 years ago, that means that 20 years ago, it weighs 50% more then it does today.
so if it weighs 3 lb today, then 20 years ago it weighed :
3 + 0.5(3) = 3 + 1.5 = 4.5 lbs <==
so if it weighs 3 lb today, then 20 years ago it weighed :
3 + 0.5(3) = 3 + 1.5 = 4.5 lbs <==
