pacey = x
alex = 2x
paul = 3x
x + 2x + 3x = 342
6x =342
x = 342 / 6
x = 57
Pacey's fish = 57 pounds
Alex's fish = 57*2 = 114 pounds
Pauls fish = 57*3 = 171 pounds
The value which is equivalent to the 1 in 8 chance of the player winning a game is Choice J: 0.125.
The question statement implies that the probability of a player winning a game is 1 in 8.
We must know that the probability of an event occuring can be expressed as any choice of real numbers. However, the probability must ultimately not be more than 1 upon evaluation.
For choice F:
- The expression 100/125 = 0.8 which is not equivalent to 1 in 8.
For choice G:
- The expression 125/10 = 12.5 which is not equivalent to 1 in 8.
For choice H:
- The expression 1.25 is more than 1, therefore, it is obviously not equivalent to 1 in 8.
For Choice J:
- The expression 0.125 is equivalent to 1 in 8 because 1/8 = 0.125.

The answer is B.
The absolute value is the "positive version" of a number. So, the absolute value does nothing to positive numbers, and switches the sign of negative numbers. Here are some examples:
So, as you can see, the result of an absolute value can't be negative, and as such, it can't be less than a negative number.
