Answer 2

125 fish

Explanation:

The Tide Pool has 10 crustaceans and 25 fish. So, simplified, for every 2 crustaceans there are 5 fish. That also means, the amount of crustaceans is 2/5 of the amount of fish.

Deep Blue has 50 crustaceans. That is 2/5 of how many fish are in the tank. Multiply 50 by 5/2 to get the amount of fish.

(50 * 5)/2

250/2

There are 125 fish in the Deep Blue tank.
