Answer 1

The bear's weight change per month is approximately 8.6 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the bear's weight change per month, we can divide the total weight loss by the number of months. In this case, the weight loss is 64.4 pounds over 7 1/2 months. To convert the fraction to a decimal, we can multiply 1/2 by 2 to get 1. So, the weight loss is 64.4 pounds over 7.5 months.

Now, we can divide 64.4 pounds by 7.5 months using long division. The quotient is approximately 8.59 pounds per month. Rounding to the nearest tenth, the bear's weight changed by approximately 8.6 pounds per month.
