Question

Sara has some fish, 2 birds, and 5 hamsters. She has 6 fewer hamsters than fish.

How many fish does she have?

Answer 1

There are 5 hamsters. If she has 6 fewer hamsters than fish, that means x-6=5
which means 5+6=11 so there are 11 fish.
The answer is 11

Answer 2

Answer: There are 11 fish she have.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of birds = 2

Number of hamsters = 5

Let the number of fish be 'x'.

According to question, she has 6 fewer hamsters than fish.

So, our equation becomes

`f-h=6\\\\f-5=6\\\\f=6+5\\\\f=11`

Hence, there are 11 fish she have.
