Question

John goes fishing for the day. After 2 hours, he has caught 3 fish and after 4 hours, has caught 6 fish. Which of the following statements are true?

More than one answer may be correct; select all correct answers.​

Answer 1

Only the third selection is true.

Explanation:

Considering the information given, John catches 3 fish every two hours. Or, in other words, he catches 1.5 fish every hour. This alone eliminates the first option.

After 8 hours, assuming that John catches 1.5 fish every hour, that would mean he would catch 12 fish. This eliminates the second option.

The third option represents what we already know. 3/2 is 1.5. 3/2 fish per hour results in the number of fish John would catch.

Thus, only the third selection is true.
