Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
How many total fish is Dr. Howser planning on buying?
BOTH tanks hold 120 gallons
Tank A :
3 every 10 --> 120/10 ---> 12
So multiply 3 and 12 ----> 36
36 fishes in tank A
Tank B:
6 every 40 -----> 120/40 ----> 3
So multiply 6 by 3 ----> 18
18 fishes are held in tank B
Add them together:
18 + 36 ----> 54
