Question

There are 8 fish tanks in the pet shop. They just received an order of 216 goldfish. The owner of the pet shop wants each tank to have the same number of fish. How many goldfish will each rank have in it?

Answer 1

Each tank would have 27 gold fish in it.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of fish tanks = 8

Number of gold fish = 216

We need to find the number of goldfish in each tank.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Number of gold fish must be equal in each tank.

To find the number of gold fish in each tank we will divide Number of gold fish by Number of fish tanks.

framing in equation form we get;

number of gold fish in each fish tank =
`(216)/(8) = 27 \ fish`

Hence Each tank would have 27 gold fish in it.
