Answer 1

Answer:

The number of mollies will be 20

Explanation:

Capacity of aquarium is 40 gallons

and

1 gallon = 4 quart

Therefore, 40 gallons will be:

40 gallons = 4 × 40

= 160 quart

Now, As per question,

0.25 inches of fish need 1 quart capacity

1 quart = 0.25 inches fish

So,

160 quart capacity will be:

= 0.25 × 160

= 40 inches fishes

And the size of mollies fish is 2 inches

The, the number of mollies fish will be:

Number of mollies = Total size of fish / Size of mollies fish

= 40 / 2

= 20

Therefore, the number of mollies will be 20.
