Answer:

12:7:21

Explanation:

If you have 40 total, the non-bram are (40-12) = 28. One quarter of them, or 7 (since 7x4=28)are trench. It leaves 28-7= 21 carps. The total ratio is: 12:7:21. Since the three numbers are co-primes (ie, they don't share a divisor between all 3) there is no way to simplify the ratio (or, if you prefer, their sum, 40, is the minimum ammount of fishes you need to have a whole number of fishes in the pond).

Answer:

ration of bream to tench to carp

12: 7: 21

Explanation:

12/40 = bream

28/40 = not bream

(28/40) x (1/4) = tench

(28/40) x (3/4) = carp

tench = (28/40) x (1/4)

= 7/40

carp = (28/40) x (3/4)

= 21/40

ration of bream to tench to carp

12: 7: 21
