A fish has a head 9" long. The tail is equal to the size of the
head plus one-half the size of the body. The body is the size of
the head plus the tail.
How long is the fish?
YOU ANSWERED: 63"
That answer is incorrect.
CORRECT ANSWER: 72"
The head is 9"
The tail is 18" + 9" = 27"
The body is 9" + 18" + 9" = 36"
91, + 27" + 36" = 72" This may be
solved algebraically as well.
where does tat 91 come from?
