Question

hank has 48 fish in his aquarium. he has 11 times as many tetras as guppies. how many of each type of fish does hank have

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's assume the number of guppies is x.

According to the problem, the number of tetras is 11 times the number of guppies, so we can represent the number of tetras as 11x.

Now, we can set up an equation to represent the total number of fish:

x + 11x = 48

Combining like terms, we have:

12x = 48

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 12:

x = 48/12

x = 4

Therefore, Hank has 4 guppies.

Now, we can find the number of tetras:

Number of tetras = 11 * Number of guppies

Number of tetras = 11 * 4

Number of tetras = 44

Therefore, Hank has 4 guppies and 44 tetras in his aquarium.
