As it is only 5, it is 5/1 so you do 5 x 3 = 15 then 1 x 4 = 4. So 15/4
So he knows there are definitely 66 trouts as he caught and tagged them.
The next day he caught 52, but 13 of them were already tagged, so were part of the number of trout he caught before.
So he can expect that:
66+(52-13)= 105 trout are in the lake
Answer
n = 30
Explanation
To solve for n, you have to isolate it by 'getting rid' of the 18, 2, and negative sign.
You 'remove' these numbers in backward PEMDAS.
So to 'remove' the 18, you subtract both sides by 18.
3-18 = -15
-n/2+18-18 = -n/2
So now you are left with -15 = -n/2.
To 'get rid' of the 2, you multiply each side by 2.
-15×2 = -30
-n/2×2 = -n
And now you have -30 = -n.
To 'get rid' of the negative sign, you multiply both sides by -1.
-30×-1 = 30
-n×-1 = n
So you get 30 = n or n = 30.

Answer:
unit rate is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that if we multiply both '1' and '3' in 1/3 by 2, we get:
4/6 : 2/6,
which reduces to 4/2, or 2, which is the desired unit rate.
