A surgery patient needs to lose 24 pounds before her upcoming surgery. Your patient lost 6 ½ pounds at the first 2 week checkup and 8 2/5 pounds at the next visit. How much more does the patient need to lose to achieve the weight lose needed for surgery?

you add 8 2/5 and 6 1/2. the common denominator is 10, and when you add, you get 14 9/10. then you subtract

24 - 14 9/10 and you get 9 1/10

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
