Fred went to catch a minimun of 2 pounds of fish. He caught 5/16 pounds. He caught another fish that was 7/8 pounds. How many pounds of fish did he catch so far? What shoud be the minimun weight of the third fish so that he can catch at least 2 pounds of fish in total?

12

Step-by-step explanation:

i think this because 7 + 5 = 12 but i'm not quite sure if this is right to be honest I haven't masterd this question before.

step-by-step explanation:

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
