Gail has two fish tanks. The first tank is twice the size of the second tank. There are 48 gallons of water in the first tank. She follows the rule of one gallon of water per inch of fish. If she keeps two-inch fish in the second tank and three-inch fish in the first tank, how many more fish would Gail have in the first tank than the second tank if one of the first tank fish eats another?
How many gallons are in the second tank? ** The second tank is 48 / 2 = <<48/2=24>>24 gallons.
How many two-inch fish does Gail keep in the second tank? ** Following her rule, Gail keeps 24 / 2 = <<24/2=12>>12 two-inch fish in the second tank.
How many fish does Gail keep in the first tank? ** She keeps 48 / 3 = <<48/3=16>>16 fish in the first tank.
How many fish would Gail have in the first tank if one of the first tank fish eats another? ** If one fish in the first tank ate another, she would have 16 - 1 = <<16-1=15>>15 fish in the first tank.
How many more fish would Gail have in the first tank than the second tank if one of the first tank fish eats another? ** Thus, Gail would have 15 - 12 = <<15-12=3>>3 more fish in the first tank.
