Answer 7

The ratio of a clownfish to angelfish at the pet store is 5:4. How many goldfish are there?

Answer 8

Is it a whole number or ratio?

Answer 9

it is asking for a number of goldfish so the answer must be a whole number

but I am not sure how to answer using the information given, is there anything else included?

Answer 10

There is: the ratio of angelfish to goldfish is 4:3. There is 60 clown fish at the pet store

Answer 11

clownfish to angelfish at the pet store is 5:4

for 60 clownfish

the ratio tells us that, for every 5 clownfish, there are 4 angelfish

any ideas how we can find the number of angelfish?

Answer 12

My teacher taught us how to do the model draw
So I idk I'll try again on my paper

Answer 13

well, try imagining putting the clownfish into groups of 5

how many groups of 5 clownfish can we make from 60 clownfish?

Answer 14

12

Answer 15

awesome! so we have 12 groups of 5 clownfish

the ratio tells us that for every group of 5 clownfish, there are 4 angelfish

so angelfish = 4*12 = 48 [not done yet]

Answer 16

now, the ratio of angelfish to goldfish is 4:3. for every group of 4 angelfish there are 3 goldfish

so let's try putting the 48 angelfish into groups of 4. how many groups are there?

Answer 17

Answer 21

Uhm 12?

Answer 22

awesome! so there are 12 groups of 4 angelfish

so for every group of 4 angelfish there are 3 clownfish

giving us 3*12 = 36 clownfish

Answer 23

so angelfish = 48
clownfish = 36

that's it

Answer 24

OMG thank you so much!!! You saved my grade :)

Answer 25

hold on made a quick typo, should be 48 angelfish and 36 goldfish

Answer 26

but yeah the math is still right
