Question

during the winter months, freshwater fish sense the water getting colder and swim to the bottom of lakes and rivers to find warmer water.if a fish swims 7/8 of the depth of a 32-feet lake,how many feet did the fish swim

Answer 1

Answer: 28 feet.

Explanation:

Given: During the winter months, freshwater fish sense the water getting colder and swim to the bottom of lakes and rivers to find warmer water.

The total depth of the lake = 32 feet

Since, fish swims 7/8 of the depth, then the depth of lake to which the fish swim=
`(7)/(8)*32\ feet`

Since,
`32/8=4`

therefore,
`(7)/(8)*32=7*4=28`

Hence, the fish swim 28 feet in lake.
