Question 1100642: To determine the number of trout in a lake, a conservationist catches 126
trout, tags them and throws them back into the lake. Later, 45
trout are caught; 15
of them are tagged. How many trout would the conservationist expect to be in the lake? Found 2 solutions by jorel1380, ikleyn:Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The conservationist tags 126 trout. Later, he catches 15 tagged fish, out of 45. Based on this data, the population of trout would be 3 times his original catch, or 3x126, or 378 trout in the lake
