+9466 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 = \(1+\frac12\)
The sea otters are fed \(\frac45\) as much fish as the dolphins. In other words...
the number of buckets of fish the sea otters are fed = \(\frac45\) the number of buckets of fish the dolphins are fed
the number of buckets of fish the sea otters are fed = \(\frac45\) * (\(1+\frac12\))
the number of buckets of fish the sea otters are fed = \(\frac45\) * \((\frac32)\)
the number of buckets of fish the sea otters are fed = \(\frac{12}{10}\)
the number of buckets of fish the sea otters are fed = \(\frac65\)
