Step-by-Step Solution
####
1. First Hour
- Donald caught
17 prawns.
- His father caught
22 prawns.
- Total prawns caught in the first hour:
\[
17 + 22 = 39
\]
####
2. Second Hour
- Donald caught
23 prawns.
- His father caught
12 prawns.
- Total prawns caught in the second hour:
\[
23 + 12 = 35
\]
####
3. Third Hour
- Donald caught
24 prawns.
- His father caught
27 prawns.
- Total prawns caught in the third hour:
\[
24 + 27 = 51
\]
####
4. Fourth Hour
- Donald caught
20 prawns.
- His father caught
20 prawns.
- Total prawns caught in the fourth hour:
\[
20 + 20 = 40
\]
####
5. Total Prawns Caught Over Four Hours
To find the total number of prawns caught by both Donald and his father over the four hours, we sum the totals from each hour:
\[
39 + 35 + 51 + 40 = 165
\]
Now, let's calculate how many prawns each of them caught individually over the four hours:
-
Donald's Total:
\[
17 + 23 + 24 + 20 = 84
\]
-
Father's Total:
\[
22 + 12 + 27 + 20 = 81
\]
---
Final Answer
- Total prawns caught by Donald:
84
- Total prawns caught by his father:
81
- Total prawns caught altogether:
165
\[
\boxed{84, 81, 165}
\]
