The dolphins at the Polk Aquarium are fed 1 3/8 buckets of fish each day. The sea otters are fed 2/5 as much fish as the dolphins. How many buckets of fish are the sea otters fed each day?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

To find how many buckets of fish the sea otters are fed each day we have to multiply the number of buckets the dolphins are fed each day by 2/5:

[tex]1\frac{3}{8}\times\frac{2}{5}=(1+\frac{3}{8})\times\frac{2}{5}=\frac{11}{8}\times\frac{2}{5}=\frac{11\times2}{8\times5}=\frac{22}{40}=\frac{11}{20}[/tex]

Answer:

The sea otters are fed 11/20 buckets of fish each day
