The ratio of clown fish to angel fish at a pet store is 5: 4. the ratio of angel fish to goldfish is 4: 3. there are 60 clown fish at the pet store:
a. how many angel fish are there?
b. how many goldfish are there?

(a)  Angel fish = 48

(b) Goldfish = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of clown fish to angel fish at a pet store = 5:4

The ratio of angel fish to goldfish = 4:3

Using these ratios, we conclude that

Clown fish : Angel fish : Goldfish = 5:4:3

Let the number of Clown fish, Angel fish and Goldfish are 5x, 4x and 3x respectively.

There are 60 clown fish at the pet store.

Divide both sides by 5.

The value of x is 12.

Angel fish :

Goldfish :

Therefore, the number of angel fish and goldfish are 48 and 36 respectively.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
