At a lake, 210 fish are caught, tagged, and released. Of that number, 38 were bass. If there are approximately 2,500 fish in the lake, estimate how many are bass.

Respuesta :

38 out of 210 were bass:

38 / 210 = 0.18 = 18% of the fish caught were bass.

Multiply the total number of fish by 18%:

2500 x 0.18 = 450

There are about 450 bass.

If there are approximately 2,500 fish in the lake. Then the number of the bass will be 452.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is an ordered set of integers a and b expressed as a/b, with b never equaling 0. A proportional is a mathematical expression in which two things are equal.

At a lake, 210 fish are caught, tagged, and released.

Of that number, 38 were bass.

If there are approximately 2,500 fish in the lake.

Then the number of the bass will be

Let x be the number of the bass. Then we have

x / 2500 = 38 / 210

            x = 452.38

            x ≅ 452
