Answer

\(\boxed{2400}\) grams of protein will be eaten by the athlete during 6 weeks of training.

Steps

Step 1 :Convert the amount of protein eaten per week from kilograms to grams. We know from the conversion table that 1 kg = 1000 g. So, \(0.4 kg = 0.4 * 1000 g = 400 g\).

Step 2 :Multiply the amount of protein eaten per week by the number of weeks to find the total amount of protein eaten. So, \(400 g/week * 6 weeks = 2400 g\).

Step 3 :\(\boxed{2400}\) grams of protein will be eaten by the athlete during 6 weeks of training.
