Question

In Sean's fish tank, there are 6 times as many goldfish as guppies. There are a total of 21 fish in the tank. How many more goldfish are there than guppies?

Answer 1

15 more goldfish.

Explanation:

Since there are 6 times as many goldfish as guppies, then.

`• 1" guppy"to6" goldfish"`

`• 2 " guppies"to12 " goldfish"`

`• 3" guppies"to18" goldfish"`

Now 3 + 18 = 21 the total fish in the tank.

Hence there are 3 guppies and 18 goldfish.

and 18 - 3 = 15, thus there are 15 more goldfish than guppies.
