A.
The initial weight of the goldfish is 0.5 ounces.
Then, for each inch it grows, its weight increases by 0.15 ounces.
So, using the variable r to represent the number of inches it grew, we can write the following equation to determine the value of x for a weight of 1.1 ounces:
[tex]0.5+0.15r=1.1[/tex]B.
Solving the equation for r, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.15r=1.1-0.5 \\ 0.15r=0.6 \\ r=\frac{0.6}{0.15} \\ r=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]It needs to grow 4 more inches.
