    6.217 pounds

    Explanation:

    We are given;

    Density of body fats 0.94 g/mL Volume of fats removed = 3.0 L

    We are required to determine the mass of fats removed in pounds.

    We need to know that;

    Density = Mass : volume

    1 L = 1000 mL, thus, volume is 3000 mL

    Rearranging the formula;

    Mass = Density * Volume

    = 0.94 g/mL * 3000 mL

    = 2,820 g

    but, 1 pound = 453.592 g

    Therefore;

    Mass = 2,820 g : 453.592 g per pound

    = 6.217 pounds

    Thus, the amount of fats removed is 6.217 pounds
