182 1/3 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

MAY: weight = 170 2/3

Summer: gained 25 5/12

New weight : 170 2/3 + 25 5/12

Get a common denominator of 12

170 2/3 *4/4 + 25 5/12

170 8/12 + 25 5/12 = 195 13/12

The he lost 10 1/4 during the first week of fall practice

195 13/12 - 10 1/4

We need to get a common denominator of 12

195 13/12 - 10 1/4*3/3

195 13/12 - 10 3/12

185 10/12

The he lost another 3 1/2 pound during the second week

185 10/12 - 3 1/2

We need to get a common denominator of 12

185 10/12 - 3 1/2 * 6/6

185 10/12 - 3 6/12

182 4/12

Simplify the fraction

182 1/3 lbs

Answer from: hannah2718

(170 2/3 + 25 5/12) - 10 1/4 - 3 1/2
(512/3 + 305/12) - 41/4 - 7/2
2048/12 + 305/12 - 123/12 - 42/12
(2353/12) - 81/12
2271/12 or 189 1/4 pounds

Answer from: randlemccray1907

182 1/3 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

If you don't want to mess with adding and subtracting obscure fractions, you can let your calculator do it.

_____

I find it convenient to add the integer parts separately from the fractional part. Usually, only a slight adjustment is needed at the end.

Integer parts:

... 170 +25 -10 -3 = 182

Fractional parts:

... 2/3 +5/12 -1/4 -1/2 = (8 +5 -3 -6)/12 = 4/12 = 1/3 (added to the above)

Weight after 2 weeks of practice: 182 1/3 lbs.

We will let x equal is final weight.
170 2/3 + 5 2/12 - 3 1/2 = x
convert them all to common denominators:
170 8/12 + 25 5/12 - 3 6/12 = x
solve:
196 1/12 - 3 6/12 = x
