Afish tank contains tetras, guppies, and minnows. the ratio of tetras of guppies. is 4: 2.the ratio is minnows of guppies is 1: 3. there are 60 fish on the fish tank. how many more tetras are there then minnows .

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of tetras be "t"

number of guppies be "g"

number of minnows be "m"

Ratio of tetras to guppies is 4:2, or reducing, 2:1. Thus we can write:

Ratio of minnows to guppies is 1:3, so we can write:

or, m = g/3

Also, total there are 60 fish, so we can write:

t + g + m = 60

or

2g + g + g/3 = 60

Solving this, we can solve for g. Shown below:

Now, finding t and m:

m = g/3 = 18/3 = 6

m = 6

and

t = 2g

t = 2(18)

t= 36

There are 36 tetras and 6 minnows. So, there are

36 - 6 = 30 more tetras than minnows

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
