a pet store has 8 tanks. each tank has 9 fish in it. write an equation to find how many fish, f, the pet store has in all.

8 * 9 = f

I hate math

To find the total number of fish in the pet store, we need to multiply the number of tanks by the number of fish in each tank.

The number of tanks is given as 8, and the number of fish in each tank is given as 9.

So, the equation to find the total number of fish, f, in the pet store is:

f = 8 * 9

To solve this equation, simply multiply 8 by 9:

f = 72

Therefore, the pet store has a total of 72 fish.
