The total number of fish bought was 320. And you know she bought two types of fish. The best way to solve this is guess and check. It would be the fastest. So she bought 7 times as many trigger-fish as parrot fish that means the number of trigger-fish bought was 7p. This means 320 = 7p +p. So all you do is take educated guesses for the number of parrot fish and check if it is right. So if she bought 50 parrot fish. 7(50) + 50 = 400. Close but a bit high. Lets keep guessing. 7(35) + 35 = 245. So now we know the answer is between 50 and 35. So lets try 40. 7(40) + 40 =320. That works so we know she bought 40 parrot fish and 280 trigger-fish.

What +2/3=11/12 equation
Luden [163]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1st: you need to make a common denominator for 2/3 and 11/12 that would be 12, so you would  keep 11/12 how it is but multiply the numerator and the denominator by 4 to get it to 12.

You would have ;

8/12+___=11/12

Then just do 11/12-8/12

so that would simplify out to 1/4
