Michaela caught 3 fish, which weigh a total 19 1/2 pounds. one fish weighs 7 5/8 pounds and another weighs 5 3/4 pounds. how much does the third fish weigh?

Find a common denominator for 2,4,8. Which is 8. Change the fractions to new ones.

1) 19 4/8= 156/8 Then add the second. 2) 7 5/8= 61/8 one and the third
3) 5 6/8= 46/8 one. Which is

15/8. Then, subtract your answer and the first one. You get 141. Simplify. 17 5/8

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
