8. Model with Math A pet shop has 24 fish in 8 tanks, with an equal number of fish in each tank. Which multiplication fact can you use to find how many fish are in each tank?

To find out how many fish are in each tank, you can use the multiplication fact that 8 tanks multiplied by the number of fish per tank equals the total number of fish (24). In equation form, it would be written as: 8 × (number of fish per tank) = 24. Solving this gives you the number of fish per tank! If you want to look at it from a division perspective, you could also think about how many fish fit in each tank by taking the total number of fish (24) and dividing it by the number of tanks (8). This gives you the same result through a different math lens!
