Three fish tanks hold different volumes of water and different numbers of fish:
Tank A holds 40 L and 5 fish.
• Tank B holds 100 L and 13 fish.
• Tank C' holds 180 L and 23 fish.
Madalena tried to order the tanks from least to greatest by volume per fish, but she made a
mistake. Here's her work:
5/40 = 0.125

13/100 = 0.13

23/180 = 0.127
Least - 0.125 } Tank A < 0.127 } Tank C < Greatest - 0.13 } Tank B

What was Madalena's mistake?
