5 teachers have fish tanks in their classroom.Each teacher receives an equal number of tropical fish to put in his or her fish tank.Each teacher also receives 6 goldfish. If there are between 34 and 56 fish in the school,how many tropical fish could there be?

There could be 5 tropical fish total.
5 tropical + (6 goldfish * 5 teachers) = 35 fish

Or ten.
10 tropical + (6 goldfish * 5 teachers) = 40 fish

Or twenty.
20 tropical + (6 goldfish * 5 teachers) = 50 fish

I'm assuming that any of these is your answer so pick the one you like the best since it says COULD be the answer. Have a great day and I hope this helped!
