Question

In the Tide Pool tank at the Atlantic Aquarium, there are 10 crustaceans and 25 fish. The Deep Blue tank has the same ratio of crustaceans to fish. There are 50 crustaceans in the Deep Blue tank.

How many fish are in the Deep Blue tank?

Answer 1

It would be 125 fish.

Explanation:

This is because since there are 10 crustaceans for every 25 fish, there are 2.5 times more fish than crustaceans. Therefore, if there were 50 crustaceans, you would do 50 * 2.5 to get 125 fish.
