Answer:

a) 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept= Mathematical Calculation

Given= Word problem

To find= The total number of fish caught

Explanation=

We have been the question as Jack caught 14 fish on Saturday and twice as much fish on Sunday. When he went fishing on Monday,  he caught 1/2of the fish he caught on Saturday and Sunday combined. How many total fish did he catch all 3 days?

We know that on Saturday Jack caught 14 fish and given that we he catches twice on Sunday as of Saturday.

Sunday fish caught by Jack=  14*2 = 28 fish

Total fish in two days Saturday and Sunday= Saturday fish+ Sunday fish

=> 14 + 28 = 42 fish

We have been told that on Monday he catches half the total he caught on Saturday and Sunday.

Therefore total of Saturday and Sunday is 42 fish.

On Monday fish caught = 42/2 = 21 fish.

Saturday = 14 fish

Sunday = 28 fish

Monday = 21 fish

Total fish caught in 3 days  = 14 + 28 + 21 = 63 fish

Therefore option a) 63 is correct.
