Question

A group of friends went fishing. They each caught 20 fish but not all of them were keepers. Which person was able to keep 3/5 of the fish that he or she caught?

Answer 1

Answer:

Those who were able to keep 12 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = 20 (each)

Required

Which was able to keep 3/5

First, we need to calculate 3/5 of the total number of fishes

Fish = 3/5 * 20

Fish = (3 * 20)/5

Fish = 60/5

Fish = 12

From the calculation above, only those who keep 12 of the 20 fishes were able to keep 3/5 of their fishes
