Answer 2

Answer: There is decreased by
`1(5)/(8)` points in stock after three days and negative integer is used to represent.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Point decreased by on Monday =
`(1)/(2)`

Point decreased by on Tuesday =
`(3)/(4)`

Point decreased by on Wednesday =
`(3)/(8)`

So, total decreased in these three days are

`(1)/(2)+(3)/(4)+(3)/(8)\\\\=(4+6+3)/(8)\\\\=(13)/(8)\\\\=1(5)/(8)`

hence, there is decreased by
`1(5)/(8)` points in stock after three days and negative integer is used to represent.
