Question

The fish in an aquarium are given 1/8 kg of fish food each morning and 1/5 kg of fish food in the afternoon . A container has 13/3 container of fish food ,find the days it will last

Answer 1

13 days

Explanation:

The fish is given 1/8 kg of fish food in the morning

The fish is given 1/5 kg in the afternoon

1/8 + 1/5

= 13/40

The container has 13/3 kg of fish food

Therefore the days it will last can be calculated as follows

13/3÷13/40

= 13/3 ×40/13

= 40/3

= 13.3

Hence it will last for 13 days
