Answered by GPT-4o mini
To find the change in Claire's weight, you subtract her weight in March from her weight in September.

September weight: 187.4 pounds
March weight: 163.5 pounds

Change in weight = September weight - March weight
Change in weight = 187.4 - 163.5

Now, performing the subtraction:

187.4 - 163.5 = 23.9

So, the rational number that represents the change in Claire’s weight is **23.9**.

Yes, the calculation is correct.

To confirm:

- Claire's initial weight in September: **187.4 pounds**
- Claire's weight in March: **163.5 pounds**

To find the change in weight:

\[
\text{Change in weight} = \text{September weight} - \text{March weight}
\]
\[
\text{Change in weight} = 187.4 - 163.5 = 23.9 \text{ pounds}
\]

Thus, the change in Claire's weight is indeed **23.9 pounds**.
