Answer 1

To find the change in Claire's weight, you can subtract her weight in March from her weight in September:

Change in weight = Weight in September - Weight in March

Change in weight = 187.4 pounds - 163.5 pounds

Calculating this:

187.4 - 163.5 = 23.9

So, the change in Claire's weight is 23.9 pounds.

Answer 2

is that correct ????????

Answer 3

Yes, that is correct. Claire's weight changed from 187.4 pounds in September to 163.5 pounds in March. The calculation is as follows:

1. Subtract her weight in March from her weight in September: \[ 187.4 \text{ pounds} - 163.5 \text{ pounds} = 23.9 \text{ pounds} \]

This means Claire lost 23.9 pounds from September to March. So, the change in her weight is indeed 23.9 pounds.
