Ответ:
Paul caught 3 pike and 1 salmon
The total number of fish the three boys caught is 16
Solution:
According to question,
Mike caught 1 pike and 4 salmon
Charlie caught 5 pike and 2 salmon
Paul caught half the number of pike that both Charlie and Mike caught combined, and 1 less salmon than Charlie caught
Pike caught by Paul = half of number of pike that both charlie and mike caught combined =![\frac{1}{2} (5 + 1) = 3](/tpl/images/0390/5894/58550.png)
Salmon caught by Paul = 1 less salmon than Charlie caught = 2 - 1 = 1
Thus, Paul caught 3 pike and 1 salmon
Total of numbers Pike caught by three boys are
5 + 1 + 3 = 9 pikes
Total of numbers salmon caught by three boys are
4 + 2 + 1 = 7 salmons
Hence , the total number of fish caught are
9 + 7 = 16 fishes
