B. 1550
C. 1750
D. 2000

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. 1750

Answer 2

C. 1750

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding this answer is quite simple. You will only need to follow the steps below.

Well, we know that the pond is 1000 square feet and that 350 trout are found every 200 square feet.

First you have to start the calculation by dividing 1000 square feet by 200 square feet. This way you will know how many times the 350 trout is repeated on 1000 square feet.

1000/200 = 5.

Now you just need to multiply the amount of trout by 5 and you will find the final result.

350 x 5 = 1750
