Question

in a fish tank, 6/7 of the fish have a red stripe on them. if 18 fish have red stripes, how many total fish are in the bank

Answer 1

Answer:there are 21 fish in the tank.

Explanation:

Let's assume that the total number of fish in the tank is x.

We know that 6/7 of the fish have a red stripe on them. Therefore:

(6/7)x = number of fish with red stripes

We also know that the number of fish with red stripes is 18. Therefore:

(6/7)x = 18

Multiplying both sides of the equation by (7/6), we get:

x = 21
