The ratio of red fish to yellow fish in the pond is 2:3. If there are 24 yellow fish, how many red fish are in the pond?

Answer 1

16

Since there are 24 yellow fish and the ratio of the yellow fish to the red fish is 3:2. Then we know that 24/3=8. This means that 1 is equal to 8 fish. Since there are 2 ones for the red fish, we times 8 by 2 to get 16.
