Maria has $11 to buy fish for her aquarium. Each goldfish costs $2. How many goldfish can she buy? Do not include units in your answer

11•2=10r1 if you multiply 2 times something you can't get anything 11. The closest denominator is 5 and 5x2=10 so you have one left to get 11 so the answer is = 5with 1$ still left. Maria can buy 5 fish but she will have 1$ left over.

Answer:She can buy 5 goldfish.

Step-by-step explanation: If you divide the amount of money she has to spend by the cost of the goldfish;

$11/5 = 5.5

Since she can't buy 5 and a half goldfish, she can only buy 5.
