one quarter as much.
Which was heavier, lan's fish or his dad's?
Write a number sentence that can be used
to calculate the weight of lan's dad's fish.
What was the weight of lan's dad's fish?

The answers are in the steps.Please check carefully because I represented the questions with letters A to C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know how much Ian's fish weighed but to find his father's we will need to multiply 5/2  by 1/4  because his father's fish weighed a quarter of his.

5/2 * 1/4  =  5/8  

To compare them convert them into decimals.

5/8 = 0.625      

5/2 = 2.5  

2.5 is indeed greater than 0.625.

A)  Ian's fish was heavier that his dad's.

B)  5/2 * 1/4 = 5/8

C) Ian's dad's fish weighs 5/8 pounds.

answer: evaluate the objective function at each vertex to determine which - and -values, if any, maximize or minimize the function. example: find the minimum value and maximum value of the objective function f ( x , y ) = 4 x + 5 y , subject to the following constraints
