Kolten Coleman · Answer 1

Let x = total number of fish in the tank

8x/11 = 16

Solve this for x

Cross multiplying

8x = 11*16 = 176

x = 176/8 = 22

There are 22 fish

Peppa Pig · Answer 2

8/11 of what = 16

8/11x = 16

x = 16 * 11/8

x = 176/8

x = 22 ... so there are a total of 22 fish in the tank
