Answer:

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

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

And that is your answer 182 1/3 lbs
