Question

A pet store has 5 tanks of fish. Each tank has the same number of fish. The store has 20 fish total. How many fish are in each tank?

Answer 1

To find out how many fish are in each tank, you can divide the total number of fish by the number of tanks.

The store has 20 fish and 5 tanks.

So, you would calculate:

\[
\text{Number of fish in each tank} = \frac{\text{Total number of fish}}{\text{Number of tanks}} = \frac{20}{5} = 4
\]

Therefore, there are 4 fish in each tank.
