A formula for estimating the weight of a trout (from measurements) is
W =
LG2 |
800 |
where L is its length and G is its girth (the
distance around the body of the fish at its largest point), both
measured in inches. The weight of the fish W is in pounds.
A trout caught by Ashley is 20% longer and has a girth that is 15%
shorter than the one caught by Jane.
By how much does the weight of the trout caught by Ashley differ
from the weight of the one caught by Jane? (Round your answer to
one decimal place.)
