Pat was in a fishing competition at lake Pisces. She caught some bass and some trout. Each bass weighed 3 pounds. Each trout wei
ghed 1 pound. Pat caught a total of 30 pounds. She got 5 points in the competition for each bass, but since trout are endangered in lake Pisces, she lost 1 point for each trout. Pat scored at total of 42 points. How many bass and trout did pat catch during the competition?
e x: A= 1/2 * 20 * 16 you brake in half the 20 into 10 ( 1/2 divided by 20 is 10 because half of 20 is 10) after you get 10 you bring down the 16 and you multiply the 10 & 16 and you get “016” also as “16”
