Answer:

The total change in the cat's weight is:

  • [tex]x-\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the total weight of Maxie's cat.

Maxie's cat loses 1 1/4 pounds or (5/4 pounds)

Then it loses another 1/8 pound.

So

The total change in the cat's weight:

[tex]x-\frac{5}{4}-\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}4,\:8:\quad 8[/tex]

[tex]=x-\frac{10}{8}-\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

[tex]=x-\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the total change in the cat's weight is:

  • [tex]x-\frac{11}{8}[/tex]
