There are 18 beta fish for every 24 goldfish at the store. How many beta are there if there are 36 gold?

Answer 1

Hi IYanna!

Set up the ratios as a proportion to solve the number of beta fish.

18/24 = x/36 Multiply cross products, so that the equation would be 24x = 648

Divide 648 by 24 and there are 27 beta fish when there are 36 goldfish.
