The situation with an expression involving signed numbers is w - 12 + 4 3/8 and the overall change in Sara’s weight is -7 5/8 pounds
Represent this situation with an expression involving signed numbers.
Let Sara's initial weight be w.
The given parameters are:
Lost = 12 pounds
Gain = 4 3/8 pounds
The situation with an expression involving signed numbers is represented as:
Weight = Initial - Lost + Gain
So, we have:
Weight = w - 12 + 4 3/8
What is the overall change in Sara’s weight?.
In (a), we have:
Weight = w - 12 + 4 3/8
The overall change is:
Change = - 12 + 4 3/8
Evaluate
Change = -7 5/8
Hence, the overall change in Sara’s weight is -7 5/8 pounds
