Question

Ms Shaws class is studying the life cycle of a fish Ms shaw has 16 fish her fish hold 3 fish each how many fish tanka does Ms Shaw completely fill? How many fish are left?

Answer 1

So Ms. Shaw will completely fill 6 fish tanks and have 1 fish left.

Explanation:

Ms. Shaw has 16 fish and each fish tank can hold 3 fish. To find out how many fish tanks she needs, we can divide the total number of fish by the capacity of each tank:

16 fish / 3 fish per tank ≈ 5.33 tanks

Since we cannot have a fraction of a tank, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Ms. Shaw needs 6 fish tanks to completely fill all her fish.

To find out how many fish are left, we need to subtract the number of fish in the full tanks from the total number of fish:

16 fish - (5 tanks * 3 fish per tank) = 1 fish left

So Ms. Shaw will completely fill 6 fish tanks and have 1 fish left.
