On a plane trip to Hawaii, the baggage weight projected was 2,182 $\frac{1}{4}$ lbs. The actual weight of all bags totaled 2,095 $\frac{1}{3}$ lbs. By how much was the projected weight overstated?

Expression in mathematics is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

It is given that : the baggage weight projected was 2,182 1/4 lbs and the actual weight of all bags totaled 2,095 1/3 lbs.

Now, to find out by how much was the projected weight overstated we subtract weight projected with actual weight of baggage :

weight overstated = weight projected - actual weight

weight overstated = 2,182 1/4 lbs - 2,095 1/3 lbs

weight overstated = 87 - 1/12 lbs

weight overstated = 86(11/12) lbs

Therefore, the projected weight of baggage overstated on a plane trip to Hawaii is 86(11/12) lbs.

On a plane trip to Hawaii, the baggage weight projected was 2,182 \(\frac{1}{4}\) lbs. The actual weight of all bags totaled 2,095 \(\frac{1}{3}\) lbs. By how much was the projected weight overstated?
