We are required to find the average change in weight each month.

The average weight lost each month is 1.4 pounds

Total weight lost = 3.5 pounds

Number of months = 2.5 months

Average weight lost each month = Total weight lost / Number of months

= 3.5 pounds / 2.5 months

= 1.4 pounds per month

Therefore, the average weight lost each month is 1.4 pounds
