13/4 divided by 1/2 equals 6 1/2
so he should use 6 1/2 cups of sugar
Using the Pythagorean theorem
c^2 = a^2 +b^2
C^2 = 12^2 + 8^2
c^2 = 144 +64
c^2 = 208
c= sqrt(208)
c= 14.4 feet

So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras
Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish
