Question 1051322: "On a fishing trip, you catch two fish. The weight of the first fish is 1.2 LBS. The second fish weighs at least 0.5 pounds more than the first fish. Write an inequality that represents the possible weights (W) (in pounds) of the second fish". I don't understand how to do this problem. We're are only learning inequalities and this is my first word problem about them. Please, I need help understanding the material. Thank You
