Susan's cat loses 1 1/4 pounds. then then it loses another 1/8 pound. what what is the total change in the cat's weight?

1 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

change 1/4 into / 8 which is 2/8 then add together which is 3/8 the add the one so 1 3/8

decrease of 1 3/8 lbs ( = 11/8 lbs)

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the cat loses 1 1/4 lbs and 1/8 lbs

1 1/4 can be expressed as an improper fraction 5/4

hence the total weight loss

= 1 1/4 + 1/8

= 5/4 + 1/8

= 10/8 + 1/8

= 11/8

= 1 3/8
