Question

Marie and Jorge are both trying to lose weight. After 3 months they compared their weight loss. Marie’s weight went from 175 to 150. Jorge’s weight went from 190 to 180. Which statements are true regarding their weight loss?

Answer 1

Since I do not have answer choices, I can conclude things that may or may not be an answer choice. Just from the problem, you can tell that Marie lost more weight, because 175 -150 = 25, while 190 - 180 = 10. Indirectly, you can say that she might have worked out more, or changed her diet, although that would merely be an inference. If you have answer choices please let me know and I can answer more. Hope this helps. Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainliest answer (Not necessarily mine).

Answer 2

Some statements that can be true are:

-Marie lost more weight than Jorge did.
-Jorge lost less weight than Marie did.
-Marie lost 15 pounds in three months.
-Jorge lost 10 pounds in three months
