    Let x = total number of fish in the tank

    8x/11 = 16

    Solve this for x

    Cross multiplying

    8x = 11*16 = 176

    x = 176/8 = 22

    There are 22 fish

    8/11 of what = 16

    8/11x = 16

    x = 16 * 11/8

    x = 176/8

    x = 22 ... so there are a total of 22 fish in the tank
