Answer: Yes, but only if he houses 37, 38, 39, or 40 fish

Anything larger than 40 and he'll need more room.

==========================================================

Explanation:

The tank is 30 cm by 30 cm by 100 cm. The volume is 30*30*100 = 90,000 cm^3 which is shorthand for "cubic centimeters".

We're told that 1000 cm^3 = 1 liter, which means the 90,000 cm^3 converts to (90,000)/(1000) = 90 liters.

The fish tank is 90 liters.

Since 1 gallon = 4.5 liters, this means the 90 liter tank converts to 90/(4.5) = 20 gallons

----------------------------

Your teacher mentions "He can keep 2 small fish for every 1 gallon".

Since the tank is 20 gallons, that means he can keep 20*2 = 40 fish. This value is larger than 36, so Matt is correct to a point. If Matt is thinking 37, 38, 39, or 40 fish then he would be correct. If Matt is wanting more than 40 fish, then he'll need a bigger tank.

In short, he can't have any number over 36 and can only have 4 specific values (the four values mentioned earlier).

So technically, Matt is correct, but strong clarification is needed.

if you add two numbers with different sign , but absolute value of positive number is greater than absolute of negative number , sum will be positive  ex. -4+7=3 I7I GREATER THAN I-4I,   WE SUBTRACT 4 FROM 7 =3    POSITIVE  OR -14 +20 =6 POSITIVE , ABSOLUTE VALUE OF 20 GREATER THAN ABSOLUTE VALUE OF -14

Answer:

The ratio of the number of gigabytes to the price in dollars for Dial It Up is 1:8

The ratio of the number of gigabytes to the price in dollars for Ring Ring is 1:9

Step-by-step explanation:

The word problem relates to the comparison between the cost of a gigabyte on Dial It Up network and the cost per gigabyte on Ring Ring network

On Dial It Up, 2 gigabytes costs $16

Therefore, 1 gigabytes costs $16/2 = $8

Which gives Dial It Up cost per gigabyte as $8 per gigabyte

On Ring Ring, 1 gigabytes costs $9

Which gives Ring Ring cost per gigabyte as $9 per gigabyte

The ratio of the number of gigabytes to the price in dollars for Dial It Up is 1:8

The ratio of the number of gigabytes to the price in dollars for Ring Ring is 1:9.
