There are 8 fish tanks in the pet shop. they just received an order of 216 goldfish. the owner of the pet shop wants each tank to have the same number of fish. how many goldfish will each rank have in it?

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

Each tank would have 27 gold fish in it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of fish tanks = 8

Number of gold fish = 216

We need to find the number of goldfish in each tank.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Number of gold fish must be equal in each tank.

To find the number of gold fish in each tank we will divide Number of gold fish by Number of fish tanks.

framing in equation form we get;

number of gold fish in each fish tank =

Hence Each tank would have 27 gold fish in it.
