hank has 48 fish in his aquarium. he has 11 times as many tetras as guppies. how many of each type of dis does hank have?

Answer 1

that is like the ratio Tetra: ruppies
that is 11:1

so add them together thta is 12=

12x11 tetras is 44

4x1 guppies=4

44:4

Answer 2

Guppies . . . . 1 time
Tetras . . . . . 11 times

Sum of fish. . . . . 12 times
Number of fish . . 48

12 times = 48

Divide each side of the equation by 12 :

1 time = 4

Guppies = 1 time = 4 guppies

Tetras = 11 times = 11 x 4 = 44 tetras

Total fish = 4 + 44 = 48 yay !
