The equation that represents this scenario is:
weight = 240 - 4t
where t represents the number of months that have passed.
The graph that represents this scenario would be a linear decreasing function starting at 240 on the y-axis and decreasing by 4 units each month on the x-axis.
The table that represents this scenario would look like:
| Month (t) | Weight |
|------------|--------|
| 0 | 240 |
| 1 | 236 |
| 2 | 232 |
| 3 | 228 |
