Answer:
9 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 6 is 2/3 of the total price, and half of 6 is 3, add three to 6 and you get 9.
You first must find the 18% of the fish population.
You multiply 500 by .18 . You are supposed to get 90.
90 is the 18% fish increase.
Then you just add 500 + 90 and you will get 590 fish that are now in the school.
Hi there!
The correct answer is 6.25 times.
This is how you get there:
1) First off, you are going to need to have the same unit (either cm or mm). I used millimeters for this problem. 25cm=250mm
2) This next part is very easy to get wrong. You need to figure out what you are dividing, and by what. Simply look at the problem. <span><em>"How much longer is the guinea pig than her fish?" </em>This shows what numbers you should be getting. The guinea pig is 250mm long, where the fish is only 40. This means that her guinea pig should be larger. 250÷40=6.25
If you did this problem the other way, you would've ended up with .16. If you put the sizes into perspective, you will notice that this is highly unlikely.
I hope that I have been able to simplify this problem for you!
