Answer: 9 tilapia
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of 6:20 for tilapia to catfish means that for every six tilapia, there are 20 catfish in the pond.
If there are 30 catfish, use direct proportion to find out the number of tilapia:
6 : 20
x : 30
Cross multiply:
20x = 180
x = 180 / 20
x = 9 tilapia
Answer: The correct answer is H.

To find the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away, you need to know how much she gave the son. Because the ratio of the money given is 5:6, the amount of money he received has to be 5/6 of the money the daughter received.
So, the son received 5/6 of 2400.
To find this, multiply 5/6 x 2400 to get 2000.
The daughter received 2400 and the son received 2000, so the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away is 4400 dollars.
Answer:
$3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
dimes= x
quarters= x+2
nickels= 2x+2
sum is 3.75
.10x+.25(x+2)+0.05(2x+2)=3.75
.10x+.25x+.50+0.10x+0.10=3.75
0.45x=3.15
x=7 dimes (0.70)
x+2=9 quarters (2.25)
2x+2=16 nickels (0.80)
They add to $3.75
