Ralphie has a large tropical fish collection. he gives 2/3 of his fish to a local high school. then he gives 2/5 of the remaining fish to an elementary school. in the end he has 30 fish left. how many did he have at first?

Let initially number of fishes =x

He gives 2/3 of his fish to a local high school, that is he gives 2x/3 fish .

So number of fishes left = x -(2x/3) = x/3 . And he gives 2/5 of x/3 to an elementary school , that is , he gives 2x/15 fishes to the elementary school. And finally the number of fishes left =30 , that is

So initially he have 150 fishes .

a. 74 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

because the lines through the side and the box in the corners shows that these are congruent triangles and since they are mirrored the 37 degrees is also mirrored so the answer is 37 * 2 which is 74.
