On a snorkeling trip, Betina spotted 27 different kinds of fish. That is 3 times as many as her younger sister Lucia spotted. How many different kinds of fish did Lucia spot?
the way you would answer this question is dividing 27 by 3, which equals 9, (this because its the converse of doing the question "Lucia spotted 9 fish, but her sister Betina spotted 3 times as many (3x9=27)
