The ratio of male fishes to female fishes is 3 : 2
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, male punky fish = 9 stripes
Female punky fish = 8 stripes.
Total stripes = 86
<em><u>Finding the ratio of male fish to female fish:</u></em>
Let the number of male fishes be "m", and the number of female fishes be "n"
The, given that, total strips = 86
which means, total male strips + total female stripes = 86
The only values that can satisfy above equation are m = 6 and n = 4
Now, ratio of male fishes to female fishes = m : n = 6 : 4 = 3 : 2
Hence, the ratio of male fishes to female fishes is found out as 3 : 2
