Answer:

1680 pounds

Explanation:

Given that :

Weight of yellow fin tuna = 380 pounds

Weight of bluefin tuna = 620 pounds

If one fish of each species were caught per day

about how many more pounds of bluefin tuna than yellowfin tuna would be caught in a​ week?

Total pound of bluefin tuna caught in a week:

7 * 620 = 4340

Total pound of yellow tuna caught in a week:

7 * 380 = 2660

(4340 - 2660) = 1680 pounds
