Bob wants to distribute his fish and plants without any left over. 5 tanks 18 plants 24 fish

i believe u r confused about the 5 tanks because 18 can not fit into 5. so here is what it would accurately be.

to find out how many tanks you need your going to need to find the least common multiple. the least common multiple for both are below

18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

24:1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

the least common multiple is 3. you will need three tanks. now for part b of this equation, to find out how many of each need to be put into the tank. to find this out you need to divide 18 plant and 24 fish by 3 tanks.

18/3 = 6

24/3 = 8

6 plants will go in each tank and 8 fish will go in each tank

the ratio is 6:8 per tank

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
