the number of clown fish and the number of gold fish are in the ratio 6: 11
There are 33 gold fish in the aquarium.
How many minnows are there in the aquarium?

Given that in an aquarium ratio of minnows and clown fish is 8:3 and the ratio of clownfish and goldfish are in ratio 6:11 and there are 33 gold fishes in the aquarium.

⇒[tex]\frac{6}{11} =\frac{x}{33}[/tex] ( Here x is the number of clownfish)

⇒x=6×3

⇒x=18

Therefore, The number of clownfish in the aquarium is 18

Now,[tex]\frac{8}{3} =\frac{y}{18}[/tex](Here, y is the number of minnows in an aquarium)

⇒y=8×6

⇒y=48

Therefore, The number of minnows in the aquarium is 48

Therefore,The number of minnows in the aquarium is 48 and The number of clownfish in the aquarium is 18
