Question

A lake has 10,000 fish.when a fishman scoops up his net ,he catches 500 fish. Suppose 150 of the 500 fish in his net are salmon.how many salmon do you predict are in the lake?

Answer 1

You need x 20 to get to 10000, so do the same with 150 and get 3000, so it is 3000/10000

Answer 2

Answer:3000

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{150}{500} =\frac{x}{10000}$

cross multiply and you will come up with 1500000/500x

once you simply that, you get x+3000
