Say you had a pond that initial had 30 fish. There was 3 fisherman collecting at least 2 fish to feed their family, They fish for 3 seasons ? At the end of the day you would double the fish whatever you had left. $5 a fish
What happened to amount of food and money each person earned each season. How would this effect them.
Season 1:
- Initially, there are 30 fish in the pond.
- The three fishermen collect at least 2 fish each to feed their families. This means they catch a total of at least 6 fish (2 fisherman * 2 fish each).
- The fishermen sell these 6 fish at $5 each, earning a total of $30 (6 fish * $5 each).
Season 2:
- At the end of Season 1, the fishermen double the number of fish they have left. Since they started with 30 fish, they now have 60 fish in the pond.
- The fishermen again collect at least 2 fish each to feed their families. This means they catch a total of at least 6 fish (2 fisherman * 2 fish each).
- The fishermen sell these 6 fish at $5 each, earning a total of $30 (6 fish * $5 each).
Season 3:
- At the end of Season 2, the fishermen double the number of fish they have left. Since they started with 60 fish, they now have 120 fish in the pond.
- The fishermen again collect at least 2 fish each to feed their families. This means they catch a total of at least 6 fish (2 fisherman * 2 fish each).
- The fishermen sell these 6 fish at $5 each, earning a total of $30 (6 fish * $5 each).
Effect on Food Availability:
- Initially, the pond had 30 fish, and the fishermen caught at least 6 fish in each season. This means that the fishermen were able to provide enough food to feed their families each season.
Effect on Income:
- Each fisherman earned $30 from selling the fish in each season. Therefore, they earned a total of $30 * 3 seasons = $90 over the 3 seasons.
Overall, the fishermen were able to provide enough food for their families each season and earned a total of $90 over the 3 fishing seasons.
To understand what happened to the amount of food and money each fisherman earned each season, we need to calculate the number of fish remaining after each season. Let's break down the calculations for each season:
Season 1:
- There were initially 30 fish in the pond.
- The three fishermen caught at least 2 fish each, so a total of 6 fish were caught.
- After deducting the caught fish from the initial 30, there are 24 fish remaining.
- At the end of the day, the remaining fish (24) would double, resulting in 48 fish.
- Each fish is worth $5, so the total value of the remaining fish is 48 * $5 = $240.
- Each fisherman earned 2 fish, so they made $5 * 2 = $10 each.
Season 2:
- In the second season, there were initially 48 fish in the pond (from the previous season).
- The fishermen again caught at least 2 fish each, totaling 6 fish caught.
- The remaining fish after deducting the caught fish is 42.
- After doubling, there would be 84 fish in the pond.
- The value of the remaining fish is 84 * $5 = $420.
- Each fisherman earned 2 fish, so they made $5 * 2 = $10 each.
Season 3:
- In the third season, there were initially 84 fish in the pond (from the previous season).
- The fishermen caught at least 2 fish each, totaling 6 fish caught.
- The remaining fish after deducting the caught fish is 78.
- After doubling, there would be 156 fish in the pond.
- The value of the remaining fish is 156 * $5 = $780.
- Each fisherman earned 2 fish, so they made $5 * 2 = $10 each.
In each season, each fisherman earned $10 regardless of the number of fish in the pond or the value of the remaining fish. The total amount of food and money each fisherman earned remained constant throughout all three seasons.
However, it's worth noting that as the number of fish in the pond decreased each season due to fishing, the total value of the remaining fish also decreased. This could affect the overall availability of food and the potential income from selling the fish.
