Answer:

No, lisa will not be able to feed both the tanks same amount of food.

Explanation:

No, lisa will never be able to feed both tanks the same amount of food.

Let tank A contains x number of fish then according to the information given

Tank B contains 2/3x number of fish

Lisa feds 1 gm of food in tank A that means
x\cdot1=x

Lisa feds 2 gm of food in tank B that means
(2x)/(3)\cdot2

we have to tell whether lisa will ever feed both tanks the same amount it will be possible if


x=(2x)/(3)\cdot2


\Rightarrow 3x=4x which is not possible

Therefore, lisa will not be able to feed both the tanks same amount of food.
