The ratio of the number of fishes to the number of frogs in a pond is 3 : 5. After 6 frogs left the pond, there were 6/7 as many fishes as frogs. How many fishes and frogs were there altogether in the pond at first?
To make Frogs equivalent too before the 6 frogs left--->5 x 2 = 10
Therefore, Frogs should have 10 units.
But now, after 6 Frogs had left, it has dropped to 7 units.
10 - 7 = 3 units of frogs left
3 units ---> 6 Frogs
1 unit ---> 6 divide by 3 = 2 Frogs
At first ---> 6 units of fish + 10 units of frogs = 16 units
Total ---> 16 x 2 = 32 Fishes and Frogs
