Answer 1

444

addition and subtraction

there are more fish in the school

the number of fishes that left the school is less than the number of fish that joined the school

Explanation:

fishes that swam away = 375 - 47 = 328

fish that joined = 328 + 116 = 444

to determine the fish that swam away subtract. to determine the fish that joined, add.

116 is greater than 47. so there are more than 375 fish in the school
