The dolphins at the Scott Aquarium are fed 1 1/2 buckets of fish each day. The sea otters are fed
4/5 as much fish as the dolphins. How many buckets of fish are the sea otters fed each day?
_________________________________________________________________________
The number of buckets of fish the dolphins are fed = 1+12
The sea otters are fed 45 as much fish as the dolphins. In other words...
the number of buckets of fish the sea otters are fed = 45 the number of buckets of fish the dolphins are fed
the number of buckets of fish the sea otters are fed = 45 * (1+12)
the number of buckets of fish the sea otters are fed = 45 * (32)
the number of buckets of fish the sea otters are fed = 1210
the number of buckets of fish the sea otters are fed = 65
