i need how many fish belle eats not how many left

Damon told you how many fish she will eat.

To calculate how many fish Belle will eat, we need to find the total number of fish in two and a half buckets.

First, let's calculate the total number of fish in one bucket. We are given that there are 8 fish in each bucket, so:

Total fish in one bucket = 8

Next, we want to find the total number of fish in two and a half buckets. Since we're dealing with half a bucket, we need to account for half of the number of fish in one full bucket. To do this, we can divide the number of fish in one bucket by 2:

Half a bucket = 8 / 2 = 4

Now we can calculate the total number of fish Belle will eat by adding the fish in two whole buckets (16 fish) and half a bucket (4 fish):

Total fish she will eat = 16 + 4 = 20

Therefore, Belle will eat a total of 20 fish.
