Answer:

[tex]Region\ A= \frac{209}{2240}\\\\Region\ B= \frac{629}{2240}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The English ton, also known as the long ton, is equivalent to 2,240 pounds. Therefore, the fractional parts, of each of the two fish, of the English ton are:

Fish caught in region A:

[tex]A= \frac{209}{2240}[/tex]

Fish caught in region B:

[tex]B= \frac{629}{2240}[/tex]

Both fractions are irreducible.
