As the gilr walked on she met another man thats a good sized fish. How long is it. Well the head is 4 inches. The tail is as long as the head plus half the length of the body. And the body is exactly as long as the head and tail together. How long was the fish?
***
H=head, B=body, T=tail
H=4
T=4+B/2
B=4+4+B/2
B/2=8
B=16
T=4+B/2=8
H+B+T=4+16+8=32
How long was the fish? 32 inches
