Answer=140 fish 200 gallons of water in the first aquarium. 200 gallons of water in the second aquarium. The first will be for the small fishes. 5 small fish x fish _____________=__________ 10 gallons 200 gallons cross multiply 10x=1000 divide both sides by 10 x=100 small fishThe first aquarium has 100 small fish. The second aquarium holds large fish. 8 large fish x fish ____________=___________ 40 gallons 200 gallons cross multiply 40x=1600 divide both sides by 40 x=40 large fishThe second aquarium has 40 large fish. 100small fish+40 large fish=140 total fish
In terms of the first aquarium, the number of small fish Skye will have is: 200 gallons of water* (5 small fish/ 10 gallons of water)= 100 small fish. In terms of the second aquarium, the number of large fish Skye will have is: 200 gallons of water* (8 large fish/ 40 gallons of water)= 40 large fish. The total number of fish Skye will have is: 100 fish+ 40 fish= 140 fish. Final answer: 140 fish . Hope this would help~
