Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since big Al immediately notices that the bass in his right hand is bigger, it must weigh more than the one in his left hand. Therefore, the answer is either A or D. However, we cannot determine the exact weight difference between the two fish with the given information, so we cannot choose A. Therefore, the best choice is D, which states that the fish in his right hand must be at least 2% heavier than the fish in his left hand.
