12 + 5 + 2 = 19
19 Fish all together.
To find the total number of fish, you can simply add up the number of red, blue, and yellow fish.
Given:
Number of red fish = 12
Number of blue fish = 5
Number of yellow fish = 2
To find the total number of fish:
Total number of fish = Number of red fish + Number of blue fish + Number of yellow fish
Substituting the given values:
Total number of fish = 12 red fish + 5 blue fish + 2 yellow fish
Adding the values together:
Total number of fish = 12 + 5 + 2
Calculating the sum:
Total number of fish = 19
Therefore, there are 19 fish in total.
