Question

during the winter months, freshwater fish sense the water getting colder and swim to the bottom of lakes and rivers to find warmer water.if a fish swims 7/8 of the depth of a 32-feet lake,how many feet did the fish swim

Answer 1

Answer: 28 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: During the winter months, freshwater fish sense the water getting colder and swim to the bottom of lakes and rivers to find warmer water.

The total depth of the lake = 32 feet

Since, fish swims 7/8 of the depth, then the depth of lake to which the fish swim=$\frac{7}{8}\times32\ feet$

Since, $32\div8=4$

therefore, $\frac{7}{8}\times32=7\times4=28$

Hence, the fish swim 28 feet in lake.
