math and science. during winter months, freshwater fish sense the water getting colder and swim to the bottoms of lakes and rivers to find warmer water. if a fish swims 7_8 of the depth of a 32-foot deep lake, how many feet down did the fish swim?

28 feet

32 feet divided by 8 equals 4
so the lake is in sections of 4
take 4 times it by 7
answer is 28 feet

to check your answer 28/32 simplified is 7/8
