99 points!!!! ASAP Melissa put her cat, Herman, on a diet and kept track of his weight. At the end of 4 weeks, she recorded Herman's weight change as −4 1/2 ounces. She noticed that he had lost the same amount of weight each week. What is Herman's weight change each week of the diet? Enter your answer in the box.

Respuesta :

-4 1/2
-4.5
-4.5 / 4 = -1.125

Answer: -1.13, or -1 1/8
Since he lost the SAME amount of weight in the four weeks,

you can divide -4 1/2 by 4

-4 1/2 is also -4.50.

-4.50/4= -1.125

He lost -1.125 every week or -1 1/8 pounds every week.

I hope this helps!
