Answer:
C = [tex]\frac{80 - 41}{8} = \frac{39}{8}[/tex]
The overall change in Mr. Mitchell's weight is [tex]- \frac{39}{8}[/tex] pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Mitchell over the summer by jogging each week lost 10 pounds. He had gained [tex]5\frac{1}{8}[/tex] pounds by wintertime.
If S represents the weight loss in summer and W represents the weight gained in winter, then the expression for net weight change will be
C = S - W = 10 - [tex]5\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
⇒ C = 10 - [tex]\frac{41}{8}[/tex]
⇒ C = [tex]\frac{80 - 41}{8} = \frac{39}{8}[/tex]
So, this is the required expression.
And Mr. Mitchell has a total change in weight by [tex]- \frac{39}{8}[/tex] pounds. (Answer)
