Question

Jamie has a fish tank with clownfish and goldfish. There are 8 fish in total, and 2/8 of them are clownfish. Jamie decides to double the amount of clownfish in the tank. How many clownfish are in the tank now? What fraction of the fish are clownfish?

Answer 1

1/ There are 4 clownfish in the tank now

2/ 4/10

Explanation:

1/ We know the original number of clownfish is 2/8, which means there are 2 clownfish in a tank with a total number of 8 fish.

So now she wants to double the clownfish. So there will be 4 clownfish in the tank now.

2/ We know that there was eight fish in the tank, and now there are 2 more, so the total will be 10! And we know that now there are 4 clownfish, so our fraction is 4/10
