as the fish-and-game warden of your township, you are responsible for stocking the town pond with fish before fishing season. the average depth of the pond is 20 feet. you plan to start the season with one fish per 1000 cubic feet. you intend to have at least 25% of the opening day's fish population left at the end of the season.what is the maximum number of licenses the town can sell if the average seasonal catch is 20 fish per license?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the depth of the pond seems irrelevant with out knowing any other dimensions

OpenStudy (amistre64):

P(.25) = 20x may seem reasonable

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well; P(.75) sounds better, since that is how many fish can be caught to meet the criteria

\[the fish pond has the dimensions from 0ft, 520ft, 800ft, 100ft, 1140ft, 1160ft, 1110ft, 860ft,and 0ft\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

those dimensions appear to be depths; that you would add together and divide by in order to get the average depth. in order to get volume tho, we need to know the shape of the pond as well

OpenStudy (amistre64):

once we know the volume of the pond; we can determine "P" by truncating off the last 3 digits perhaps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the shape is oval horizontally
