The division equation is: [tex]\frac{x}{19} = 12[/tex]
228 goldfish can be kept
Solution:
Given that,
A pet store has 19 goldfish tanks
The store can place 12 fish in each tank
Let "x" be the number of gold fish that can be kept in tank
From given information,
Number of goldfish tanks = 19
Number of fish kept in 1 tank = 12 fish
We know that,
number of gold fish that can be kept in tank = Number of goldfish tanks x Number of fish kept in 1 tank
[tex]x = 19 \times 12[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{19} = 12[/tex]
Thus the division equation is found
On solving we get,
x = 19 x 12 = 228
Thus 228 goldfish can be kept
