Answer:

So, 100 fish taken from Lake A would have a mean length of 50 cm and 100 fish taken from Lake B would have a mean length of 140 cm

Explanation:

1 fish from Lake A would be 0.5 cm long you calculate that by dividing 70 from 35 and you calculate the fish from Lake B by dividing 30 from 42 which would be 1.4 cm, (english is not my first language so I hope you understood everything :D)
