Question 398272
Let the weights of the fish be {{{a}}}, {{{b}}}, and {{{c}}}
given:
(1) {{{a + b + c = 64}}} ounces
(2) {{{a = 2b}}}
(3) {{{c = (1/2)*a}}}
----------------
from (2),
{{{b = a/2}}}
Substituting:
(1) {{{a + a/2 + a/2 = 64}}}
{{{2a = 64}}}
{{{a = 32}}}
and
{{{b = a/2}}}
{{{b = 16}}}
and
{{{c = a/2}}}
{{{c = 16}}}
The weights of the fish are 32 ounces, 16 ounces, 16 ounces
