a) He lost (2 + 3/8) pounds in the first month,

b) he needs to lose another (7 + 3/4) pounds.

First, we know that the weight of Brady White is (195 + 1/2) pounds, and at the end of the month, his weight is (193 + 1/8) pounds.

To find how many pounds did he lose, we need t take the difference between these two values.

(195 + 1/2) - (193 + 1/8)

= (195 - 193) + (1/2 - 1/8)

= 2 + 3/8

Then, we conclude that in the first month he lost (2 + 3/8) pounds

If is goal is (185 + 3/4) pounds, then the amount that he needs to lose is:

(193 + 1/8) - (185 + 3/4)

(193 - 185) + (1/8 - 3/4)

8 - 5/4 = 7 + 3/4

So to reach his goal, he needs to lose another (7 + 3/4) pounds.
