Question

(Please help me I’m nearly crying cause I can’t answer this question. )

Answer 1

Answer:

60 goldfish

because there is a ratio of 2 gold fish to 3 Betta fish you can cross multiply with 2/5 and x/150 to find the number of goldfish. you can also check the answer because 60 goldfish would leave 90 Betta fish. the ratio of 60:90 can be simplified to a ratio of 2:3
