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?

1 3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

5/16 + (7/8= 14/16)

14/16 + 5/16= 19/16

16/16 = 1

3 LEFT OVER

1 3/16

He caught 1 3/16 pounds of fish.

Minimum weight = 13/16 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

So far he caught 5/16 + 7/8

= 5/16 + 14/16 = 19/16

= 1 3/16 pounds.

Minimum wight of the third fish = 2 - 1 3/16

=  32/16 - 19/16

= 13/16 pounds.

step-by-step explanation:

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
