Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf 15 : 7 : 28}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total fish = 50

Tench = 15

Fish left = 50 - 15 = 35

Now,

Minnows:

= 1/5 of 35

Key: "of" means "to multiply"

= 1/5 × 35

= 1 × 7

= 7 minnows

Goldfish:

= 35 - 7

= 28

Ratio of tench to minnows to goldfish:

= 15 : 7 : 28
