Question

In a fish tank 8/11 of the fish have red a stripe on them. If 16 of the fish have red stripes how many total fish are in the tank?

Answer 1

x - the number of fish

8/11 of the fish have a red stripe.
16 of the fish have a red stripe.


`(8)/(11)x=16 \\ x=16 * (11)/(8) \\ x=2 * 11 \\ x=22`

There are 22 fish in the tank.
