Azul went snorkeling and he noticed that the ratio of parrot fish to clowfish was 4:3. He saw 20 parrot fish. How many clownfish did he see?

parrotfish:clownfish

4:3

20:x

4 times 5 = 20

multiply 3 by 5 to keep the same ratio. => 3 times 5 equals 15. therefore there are 15 clownfish.

hope I helped! (:
