Bear's weight change per month = 8.6 pounds per month

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight change per month can be calculated by dividing the change in weight by the time it took for the weight change.

Here it is given that weight loss is 64.4 pounds.

And it took $7\frac{1}{2}$ months for this weight loss to happen.

Therefore,

Bear's weight change per month = $\frac{64.4}{7\frac{1}{2} }$

= $\frac{64.4}{\frac{15}{2} }$

= $\frac{64.4*2}{15}$

= $\frac{128.8}{15}$

= 8.587

Bear's weight change per month = 8.6 pounds per month
