If I am 53% stronger than the average man, and an average woman is 67% weaker than the average man, how much stronger am I than the average woman?

@Eternity Thank you for BC 😃

@Classified you're welcome. Thanks for the math

@Eternity No problem, I think it should be correct 😃

@PatKirby every other woman being capable of physically overpowering him sounds about right. Lol

@Redstar yeah me either. Let me try again from scratch.

So if I set the average man strength at 100

53 percent more than 100 is 153.

67 percent less than 100 is 33

So:

My strength =153

Average male=100

Average woman= 33

4.65×33= 153

....so 4.65 times as strong?

I dunno. Im stumped. I get different numbers each time i set it up and honestly im not sure how to set it up right.

@Eternity ...My cats breath smells like cat food.

@Eternity percentages ae kind of a pain to deal with and yeah it is easy to make mistakes

@TexChik how did you solve it?

@Eternity 100-67=33( average woman’s strength) % plus 53 ( his strength) %= 86%

@TexChik seems legit. Thank you

@Eternity SO how is it measured ?

@Phantome deadlifts are used often because they employ almost all the muscles in the body.

You would get as many men and as many women as you possibly can to deadlift as much as they can for one rep

Then you enter the results into a database and calculate the average for men and the average for women.

@Eternity For this to be accurate you' d need to test ever man and every woman on Earth . lol
Unless you stated the question of the average of every woman tested and the average of every man tested. (don't take me too seriously)

@sexyjigsaw thats right. Sorry for fucking up the numbers

@UnderstandMe i truly do not know for sure. That may be right. I got an answer like that one time i calculated it

I think it'd be 120÷153*100=78.43% lol ,brain frying literally .what's the correct answer?

@UnderstandMe i dont know! I've gotten 2.2×, 2.8×, and 4.56×

And i just realized I used a wrong value to start with 😬. Women are 67% as strong as men, so they would be 33% weaker not 67.

@Miram that is popping up a lot so it's looking about right

@Biffed i got 2.8× but im not sure if that is right...I'm not great at math.

@Eternity it's either 2.8 or 2.2... i think

@Miram im not good at math either. This is a no judgement zone, Miram. You're safe here.
