If you weigh 54.4 kilograms and have 3.3 pounds of intestinal bacteria what percentage 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.
