Question

A) 225 fish
B) 225 fish
C) 225 fish
D) 225 fish

Answer 1

To find the number of fish left in the pond after 5 days, subtract the number of fish the crocodile eats each day from the initial number of fish. There will be 225 fish left in the pond after 5 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of fish left in the pond after 5 days, we need to subtract the number of fish the crocodile eats each day from the initial number of fish.

The crocodile eats 15 fish each day for 5 days, so the total number of fish it eats is 15 * 5 = 75.

To find the number of fish left, we subtract 75 from the initial number of fish, which is 300. Therefore, there will be 300 - 75 = 225 fish left in the pond after 5 days.
