let x =the weight of the parakeet. 8x=weight of the fish.
x+8x=63 <-weight of fish and parakeet together equals 63 ounces. SOLVE FOR X. 9x=63. /9 /9 x=7 <-- parakeet weighs 7 ounces. 8x= 8(7). 8x7= 56. the fish weighs 56 ounces.

Jill's fish weighs 56 ounces, which is 8 times the weight of her parakeet. The parakeet weighs 7 ounces, and together they weigh 63 ounces. This was calculated using an equation based on the weights of both pets.
