Question
The dolphins at the Hamilton Aquarium are fed 1/6 of a bucket of fish each day. The sea otters are fed 3/10 as much fish as the dolphins. How many buckets of fish are the sea otters fed each day?Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
Solution
The dolphins are fed 1/6 of a bucket of fish each day. The sea otters are fed 3/10 as much fish as the dolphins.
To find out how much the sea otters are fed, we need to multiply the amount the dolphins are fed by 3/10.
So, (1/6) * (3/10) = 3/60 = 1/20.
Therefore, the sea otters are fed 1/20 of a bucket of fish each day.
