To find out how much the fish weighs, we first need to set up an equation using the given information. Let's say the weight of the parakeet is x ounces.
According to the information, the fish weighs eight times as much as the parakeet. So, the weight of the fish is 8x ounces.
The total weight of the fish and the parakeet is given as 63 ounces.
So, we can set up the equation:
x + 8x = 63
Combining like terms, we get:
9x = 63
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 9:
x = 63/9 = 7
Therefore, the parakeet weighs 7 ounces.
To find the weight of the fish, we can substitute this value back into our equation:
Fish's weight = 8x = 8 * 7 = 56 ounces
Therefore, the fish weighs 56 ounces.
