Ana and Roger went on a fishing trip and anna caught twice as many fish as roger if together they caught 24 fishes, how many did each catch

Answer 1

Let's start by assigning variables to represent the number of fish caught by each person:

- Let x be the number of fish caught by Roger.
- Then, Anna caught twice as many fish as Roger, so she caught 2x fish.

According to the problem, they caught a total of 24 fish, so we can set up an equation:

x + 2x = 24

Simplifying the left side, we get:

3x = 24

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

x = 8

So, Roger caught 8 fish, and Anna caught twice as many, or 16 fish. Checking our answer:

8 + 16 = 24

Therefore, Roger caught 8 fish and Anna caught 16 fish.
