The situation with an expression involving signed numbers is w - 12 + 4 3/8 and the overall change in Sara’s weight is -7 5/8 pounds

<h3>Represent this situation with an expression involving signed numbers. </h3>

Let Sara's initial weight be w.

The given parameters are:

Lost = 12 pounds

Gain = 4 3/8 pounds

The situation with an expression involving signed numbers is represented as:

Weight = Initial - Lost + Gain

So, we have:

Weight = w - 12 + 4 3/8

<h3>What is the overall change in Sara’s weight?.</h3>

In (a), we have:

Weight = w - 12 + 4 3/8

The overall change is:

Change = - 12 + 4 3/8

Evaluate

Change = -7 5/8

Hence, the overall change in Sara’s weight is -7 5/8 pounds
