What was the weight of lan's dad's fish?

The answers are in the steps.Please check carefully because I represented the questions with letters A to C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know how much Ian's fish weighed but to find his father's we will need to multiply 5/2  by 1/4  because his father's fish weighed a quarter of his.

5/2 * 1/4  =  5/8  

To compare them convert them into decimals.

5/8 = 0.625      

5/2 = 2.5  

2.5 is indeed greater than 0.625.

A)  Ian's fish was heavier that his dad's.

B)  5/2 * 1/4 = 5/8

C) Ian's dad's fish weighs 5/8 pounds.
