Question

Luke and Matt went fishing. Luke caught 4 fish, each weighted 7/8 of a pound. Matt caught 6 fish, each weighted 3/4 of a pound. Who caught more pounds of fish?

Answer 1

Matt caught more pounds of fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Fish caught by Luke = 4

Weight of each fish = 7/8 of a pound

Weight of 4 fish = $\frac{7}{8}*4$ pounds

Weight of 4 fish = 3.5 pounds

Fish caught by Matt = 6

Weight of each fish = 3/4 of a pound

Weight of 6 fish = $\frac{3}{4}*6$

Weight of 6 fish = $\frac{18}{4}=4.5\ pounds$

Therefore,

Matt caught more pounds of fish.
