Question

Paula caught a tarpon with a weight that was 11 times as great as the weight of a permit fish she caught
The total weight of the two fish was 132 pounds.
How much did each fish weigh?

Answer 1

Let one fish weigh xlbs and other 11xlbs

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x+11x=132$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 12x=132$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{132}{12}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=11lbs$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 11x=121lbs$
