Let’s solve this step by step.
First, we need to count how many of each animal are in the picture at the top.
We’ll go row by row and tally:
Row 1:
- Octopus (purple): positions 1, 3, 5, 8 → 4 octopuses
- Crab (red): position 2, 7 → 2 crabs
- Fish (blue): position 4 → 1 fish
- Starfish (yellow): position 6 → 1 starfish
Wait — let me recount more carefully. Let’s list all 32 images (4 rows × 8 columns) and label them.
Actually, better way: go column by column or just scan entire grid.
Let me do a full count:
Looking at the entire grid (4 rows, 8 columns = 32 animals):
I’ll count each type:
Octopus (looks like with 8 legs, round head):
Row 1: col1, col3, col5, col8 → 4
Row 2: col4, col7 → 2
Row 3: col2, col5? Wait no — let's be precise.
Actually, let’s use a systematic approach.
Label each cell:
Row 1:
1. Octopus
2. Crab
3. Octopus
4. Fish
5. Octopus
6. Starfish
7. Crab
8. Octopus
→ Row 1: Octopus: 4, Crab: 2, Fish: 1, Starfish: 1
Row 2:
1. Crab
2. Starfish
3. Fish
4. Octopus
5. Starfish
6. Fish
7. Octopus
8. Fish
→ Row 2: Crab:1, Starfish:2, Fish:3, Octopus:2
Row 3:
1. Starfish
2. Octopus
3. Starfish
4. Fish
5. Crab
6. Fish
7. Starfish
8. Crab
→ Row 3: Starfish:3, Octopus:1, Fish:2, Crab:2
Row 4:
1. Fish
2. Octopus
3. Fish
4. Starfish
5. Fish
6. Octopus
7. Fish
8. Starfish
→ Row 4: Fish:4, Octopus:2, Starfish:2, Crab:0
Now add up totals:
Octopus:
Row1:4 + Row2:2 + Row3:1 + Row4:2 =
9
Crab:
Row1:2 + Row2:1 + Row3:2 + Row4:0 =
5
Fish:
Row1:1 + Row2:3 + Row3:2 + Row4:4 =
10
Starfish:
Row1:1 + Row2:2 + Row3:3 + Row4:2 =
8
Double-check total: 9+5+10+8 = 32 → matches 4x8=32. Good.
So:
- Octopus: 9
- Crab: 5
- Fish: 10
- Starfish: 8
Now answer the questions:
---
Question 1: Which animal was found the most at the aquarium?
→ Fish has 10 → highest →
Fish
Question 2: How many more fish were there than crabs?
→ Fish:10, Crab:5 → 10 - 5 =
5
Question 3: How many animals were there in all?
→ Total = 9+5+10+8 =
32
Question 4: How many starfish and octopus were there?
→ Starfish:8 + Octopus:9 =
17
Question 5: What were the two fewest animals found?
→ Counts: Crab=5, Starfish=8, Octopus=9, Fish=10
→ Fewest: Crab (5), then Starfish (8) → so
Crab and Starfish
Wait — “two fewest” means the two smallest numbers. So yes: Crab (5) and Starfish (8). But is that correct? Let’s see: 5,8,9,10 → smallest two are 5 and 8 → Crab and Starfish.
But wait — sometimes people might think “fewest” as in least common, which is Crab (5), and next is Starfish (8). Yes.
Question 6: How many crab and fish were found?
→ Crab:5 + Fish:10 =
15

Final Answers:
1. Fish
2. 5
3. 32
4. 17
5. Crab and Starfish
6. 15
──────────────────────────────────────
Final Answer:
Which animal was found the most? → Fish
How many more fish than crabs? → 5
Total animals? → 32
Starfish and octopus together? → 17
Two fewest animals? → Crab and Starfish
Crab and fish together? → 15
