Answer:

\frac{1}{10} of the fish are red guppies.

and \frac{9}{10} of the fish are not red guppies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: two-fifths of the fish in Gary's fish tank are guppies.

           One fourth of the guppies are red.

To find: What fraction of the fish in Gary's tank are red guppies? what fraction of the fish in gary's are not red guppies?

Solution:

Let the total number of fish in Gary's fish tank be <em>x</em>.

It is given that two-fifths of the fish in Gary's fish tank are guppies.

So, number of guppies in the Gary's fish tank is \frac{2}{5}\times x

Now, it is also given that One fourth of the guppies are red.

So, number of red guppies =\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{2x}{5}

=\frac{x}{10}

So, \frac{1}{10} of the fish are red guppies.

and 1-\frac{1}{10} =\frac{9}{10} of the fish are not red guppies.

A game field is 360 feet long. The practice field is 2/5 shorter than the practice field. How long is the game field?feet
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The practice field is 144 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

360 x 2/5 = 144

(You would multiply these numbers NOT divide!)

To check my math:

2/5 = 0.4

144/360 = 0.4

By doing the above check, I know the two equations are the same. By seeing this I can know that the answer is correct.
