Question

On a snorkeling trip, Betina spotted 27 different kinds of fish. That is 3 times as many as her younger sister Lucia spotted. How many different kinds of fish did Lucia spot?

Answer 1

the way you would answer this question is dividing 27 by 3, which equals 9, (this because its the converse of doing the question "Lucia spotted 9 fish, but her sister Betina spotted 3 times as many (3x9=27)

Answer 2

27/3=9 there for lucia spotted nine fish hope this helps
