6:3, for every six yellow fish there are three orange fish
2:1, for every two yellow fish there is one orange fish
3:6, for every three orange fish there are six blue fish
23:5. for every three orange fish there are five blue fish
P

B. 2:1, for every two yellow fish there is one orange fish

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have 6 yellow fish and 3 orange fish.

You can divide both these values by 3 to get:

2 yellow fish: 1 orange fish

Therefore, the simplified version of the ratio is 2:1

In context this means for every 2 yellow fish there is 1 orange fish.

The answer is then B.

I hope this helps!!

i pretty sure it is

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
