What's the Fish Worth?
In the land of Titenium, three fish can be traded for two loaves of bread, and a loaf of bread can be traded for four bags of rice. How many bags of rice is one fish worth?
2 2/3 bags of rice. One loaf of bread can be traded for four bags of rice, so two loaves can be traded for eight bags of rice. Three fish can be traded for eight bags of rice, so one fish is worth 8 ÷ 3 bags of rice

Here's a Fishy Probability...
A fishbowl contains guppies, neon tetras, and gold fish. When Mr. Girvan reaches in to the bowl, he always touches one of the fish. If the probability of his touching a guppy is 1/4 and the probability of toching a tetra is 2/5, what is the probability of touching a goldfish? (2pts) What percent of the fish are guppies? (1pt) What percnt of the fish are neon tetras? (1pt)
wer: The probability of touching a goldfish is 7/20. (1-(1/4 +2/5) = 1 - (113/20) = 7/20. Percent of guppies is 25%. The percent of tetras is 40%.
