Answer:

12.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a proportion

50 gallons of water in 20 minutes, and x gallons of water in 5 minues

50/20=x/5

To solve, we need to get the variable, x, by itself. Right now, it is being divided by 5. To get rid of this, multiply both sides of the equation by 5

5(50/20)=(x/5)5

This will allow the 5s on the right to cancel, leaving us with

12.5=x

The aquarium has 3 more yellow fish than green fish. 60 percent of the fish are yellow. How many green fish are in the aquarium?
cupoosta [38]

The aquarium has 3 more yellow fish than green fish.

60% of the fish are yellow.

To find:

How many green fish are in the aquarium?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x number of fish in the aquarium.

60% of the fish are yellow.

So there are 60x/100 = 3x/5 yellow fish.

Then (100 - 60)% = 40% fish are green.

So there are 40x/100 = 2x/5 green fish.

Given that, there are 3 more yellow fish than green fish

⇒ 3x/5 = 2x/5 + 3

⇒ 3x/5 = (2x + 15)/5

⇒ 3x = 2x + 15

⇒ 3x - 2x = 15

⇒ x = 15

Now, 2x/5 = 2/5 × 15 = 2 × 4 = 6

Answer:

There are 6 green fish in the aquarium.
