Answer:

So if there are 60 clownfish and the ratio from clownfish to angelfish is 5:4, this is the equation you are looking at:

5:4 = 60:?

To find ? you have to do 60 divided by 5 which equals 12 and multiply it times 4 to see how many angelfish there will be if there are 60 clownfish.

12 x 4 = 48

So if there are 60 clownfish there will be 48 angelfish. The ratio is 60:48

For the next one, same thing if there are 48 angelfish, then you are looking at this equation:

4:3 = 48:?

Again, we solve like we did the last one.

48 divided by 4= 12

3 x 12= 36

So, if there are 48 angelfish there will be 36 goldfish. The ratio is 48:36

I hope this helps:)
