So we need to know what 23 1/2 + 9 5/8 + 6 1/4 is.
first, we need to make them into equivalent fraction. 
so...
23 1/2 can be 23 4/8
9 5/8 and
6 1/4 can be 6 2/8
let's add the whole numbers.
23 + 9 + 6 = 38
4/8 + 5/8 + 2/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8
so 38 + 1 3/8 is 39 3/8
the answer is 39 3/8 pounds

Answer: The third fish weighs 7 5/8 pounds  

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to add the weights of both fishes.

9 5/8 + 6 1/4 = 9 5/8 + 6 2/8 = 15 7/8

Since the 3 fishes weight 23 1/2 pounds, we have to subtract the weight of the 2 fishes to the total.

23 1/2 -15 7/8= 23 4/8 - 15 7/8= 22 (8/8 +4/8) -15 7/8= 22 12/8 -15 7/8 = 7 5/8

The third fish weighs 7 5/8 pounds
