There are 17,500 goldfish to 625,000 people. Find the number of goldfish per capita. Do not round.

Sagot :

Answer:

  0.028 goldfish/person

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of goldfish per person is found by dividing the number of goldfish by the number of persons:

  17500 goldfish/(625000 persons) = 175/6250 goldfish/person

  = 7/250 goldfish/person = 0.028 goldfish/person

Additional comment

In the context of math ratios, "per" essentially means "divided by". "Per capita" means "divided by the number of people."
