Four girls each caught a fish while at the beach. Teri's was double the size of Jane's. Jane's fish was shorter than Lynn's by nine centimetres. Lynn's was 18 centimetres longer than Reina's who caught a fish 30 centimetres long. How long were Teri's Jane's and Lynn's fish?
To find the lengths of Teri's, Jane's, and Lynn's fish, let's break down the information given step by step:
1. Reina's fish is 30 centimeters long.
2. Lynn's fish is 18 centimeters longer than Reina's fish. Therefore, Lynn's fish is 30 + 18 = 48 centimeters long.
3. Jane's fish is 9 centimeters shorter than Lynn's fish. Therefore, Jane's fish is 48 - 9 = 39 centimeters long.
4. Teri's fish is double the size of Jane's fish. Therefore, Teri's fish is 39 * 2 = 78 centimeters long.
So, the lengths of the fish are as follows:
- Teri's fish: 78 centimeters
- Jane's fish: 39 centimeters
- Lynn's fish: 48 centimeters
