Caution:  you need to use the same units of measurement throughout.  If the spring stretches by 21 cm when a 135 newton object is attached, then you must ask for the mass (in newtons) of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1 cm.

We will need to assume that the spring is not stretched at all if and when no object is attached to the spring.

Write the ratio

                21.0 cm        135 newtons
               ------------- = --------------------
                 62.1 cm               x

Solve this for x.  This x value represents the mass of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1 cm.  You can cancel "cm" in the equation above:

21.0      135 newtons
------ = --------------------
62.1               x

Then 21.0x = (62.1)(135 newtons).  Divide both sides of this equation by 21.0 to solve it for x.

Answer:

399.21 newtons or 40.73 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you first have to do a rule of threes to calculate how much would the fish will weight compared with the stretching of the spring:

\frac{21}{162} =\frac{62.1}{weight} \\weight=\frac{62.1*162}{21}=399.21 Newtons

So the weight would be 399.21 newtons and it would have 40.73 kilograms in mass.

6 cans of paint for a total of 90 dollars spent
I multiplied 120 by .20 to get 24 and subtracted it from 120 to get the amount that still has to be painted which is 96.
96 divided by 16 is 6 which is the number of cans of paint needed to paint the rest. Then just multiply by the cost (15$) and the answer is 90$
