To find the number of fish \( f \) in the bucket before Lester feeds the dolphins, we know that he divides the total number of fish equally among 3 dolphins, and each dolphin receives 6 fish.

We can express this scenario with the equation:

\[
f = 3 \times 6
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
f = 18
\]

So, the equation you can use to find the number of fish \( f \) in the bucket is:

\[
f = 3 \times 6
\]
