Respuesta :

Answer:

The greatest number of tanks is 6 tanks

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest number of tanks that set up to contain 12 angel fish , 24 sword tails and 30 guppies.

We use GCF (Greatest Common Factor) for 12, 24 and 30.

The factors of 12, 24 ,and 30 is

[tex]12=2\times 2\times 3[/tex]

[tex]24=2\times 2\times 2\times 3[/tex]

[tex]30=2\times 3\times 5[/tex]

Therefore, the GCF of 12, 24 and 30 is  [tex]2\cdot 3=6[/tex]

or

since  [tex]6\times(2+4+5[/tex] ) = 12+24+30 fish

therefore, 6 tanks set up with 2 angel fish , 4 sword tails and 5 guppies.
