Convert the fractions so they both have the same denominator (bottom part of the fraction)

1/5 = 7/35

This is because 5*7=35, so 1*7=7

1/7 = 5/35

This is because 7*5=35, so 1*5 =5

Then subtract the top numbers to get the answer:

$\frac{7}{35}-\frac{5}{35} = \frac{2}{35}$

Answer: 8.8 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to divide the total weight loss in a week (28 kg) by 7 (days in a week).

28 /7 = 4 kg per day

The group lost 4 kg each day.

Finally we have to convert the result into pounds.

Since 1 kg = 2.2 pounds

4 kg x 2.2 = 8.8 pounds.
