Answer: $0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the cost of 12 goldfish = $3
To find the cost of one goldfish we use division operator and divide the cost of 12 gold fishes by 12.
Then , the cost of one gold fish =[tex]\$3\div 12[/tex]
⇒ Cost of 1 gold fish [tex]=\dfrac{\$3}{12}[/tex]
⇒ Cost of 1 gold fish [tex]=\dfrac{\$1}{4}[/tex] [Divide numerator and denominator by 3.]
⇒ Cost of 1 gold fish [tex]=\$0.25[/tex] [Simplify by dividing 1 by 4]
Therefore , the cost of 1 goldfish = $0.25
