Mrs. Perkey put her cat, Midnight, on a diet and kept track of his weight. At the end of 4 weeks, she recorded Midnight’s weight change as -4 1/2 ounces. Mrs. Perkey noticed that he had lost the same amount of weight each week. What is Midnight’s weight change each week of the diet?

You should just have to divide the weight lost (4.5 ounces) by the time it took for her cat to lose that weight (4 weeks)!

4.5 / 4 = 1.125, meaning her cat lost about 1.125 ounces per week!
