Answer 1

Expression that gives weight of 1 fish:
`(239)/(100)`.

The weight of 1 fish is 2.39 pounds.

Explanation:

We have been given that Tom and his brothers caught 100 fish on a week-long fishing trip. The total weight of the fish was 239 pounds.

Assuming that the weight of each fish is the same, we can find weight of 1 fish by dividing the total weight of fish by total number of caught fish.

`\text{The weight of 1 fish}=(239)/(100)`

Therefore, the expression that gives the weight of 1 fish is
`(239)/(100)`.

Upon dividing 239 by 100 we will get,

`\text{The weight of 1 fish}=2.39`

Therefore, the weight of 1 fish is 2.39 pounds.
