The dolphins at the webster are fed 1/2 of a bucket of fish each day the sea otters are fed 1/2 as much fish as the dolphins how many buckets of fish are the sea fed each day? simplify you answer and write it as a proper fraction or as a whole or mixed number

If the dolphins are fed half a bucket of fish then half of that would be a quarter, therefore the sea otters are fed 1/4 of a bucket.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
