My approach is using algebra
Length of fish =X
Length of body = (3/4)X
Head = 4
Tail = 4 + (3/16)X
--------------------------------
Length of fish = (Length of body)+(Length of Head)+(Length of Tail)
Sub values:
X = (3/4X) + (4) + [(4 + (3/16)X]
X = (15/16)X + 8
(1/16)X = 8
X= 16 x 8
X= 128 ans(inches)
BEEN A LITTLE WHILE. THANKS FOR THE EXERCISE
Oh since X = 128
then
Length of Body = (3/4)X = 3/4 x 128 = 96 inches
Length of Tail = 4 + (3/16)X = 28 inches
Head is given at 4 inches
