The polar bears and penguins were having a competition to see who could
collect more fish. The polar bears had 48 piles of fish with 46 Fish n each
pile. The penguins had three times as many piles of fish and half as many fish
each pile. Who had more fish, the polar bears or the penguins? How many
fish did the polar bears and penguins have combined?

Answer 1

The penquins had more fish.

Number of fish polar bears and penguins had combined is 5,520.

Explanation:

The polar bears had 2,208 fish (48 piles times 46 fish).

The penquins had 3,312 fish (144 piles [48 times 3] times 23 fish [46 divided by 2]).

2208 fish plus 3312 fish equals 5,520 fish.
