Question

1. suppose johnny is planning to go fishing this weekend and has a choice of fishing lines. he knows the approximate weights of the fish that are available. match each fish to the correct fishing line based on the weight of the fish. keep in mind that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

fishing line type	weight limit
medium fishing line	10 pounds up to 20 pounds
heavy duty fishing line	30 pounds up to 130 pounds

1. snapper, average weight 560 ounces a. lightweight fishing line
2. trout, average weight 120 ounces b. heavy duty fishing line
3. flathead, average weight 224 ounces c. medium fishing line

Explanation:

Step1: Convert ounces to pounds (snapper)

Since 1 pound = 16 ounces, for snapper with 560 ounces, we calculate $560\div16 = 35$ pounds. Now check the weight limits: 35 pounds is in 30 - 130 pounds, so match to heavy duty (b).

Step2: Convert ounces to pounds (trout)

For trout with 120 ounces, $120\div16 = 7.5$ pounds. 7.5 pounds is in 2 - 10 pounds, so match to lightweight (a).

Step3: Convert ounces to pounds (flathead)

For flathead with 224 ounces, $224\div16 = 14$ pounds. 14 pounds is in 10 - 20 pounds, so match to medium (c).

Answer:

1. b. heavy duty fishing line
2. a. lightweight fishing line
3. c. medium fishing line
