The average amount A (in pounds per person) of fish and shellfish consumed in the United States during the period 1992–2001 can be modeled by A = (3.2x + 260)/(52x + 3800) where x is the number of years since 1992. Rewrite the model so that it has only whole number coefficients. Then simplify the model.
