Question

Jamie lost 27 pounds in 1 year. On average, how many pounds did Jamie lose per month?

Answer 1

There are 12 months in a year. So all you need to do is cut the total of 27 pounds into 12 equal portions. Basically, do 27/12 to get your answer :3

Answer 2

Uhm.... 27/12 is not = 3. But you can reduce the fraction and write it as a mixed number. :)
