Answer:350 Trouts

Explanation:To determine the number of trouts the conservationist expect to be in the lake, you add 120+120 that equal to 240.Then you add 240+40 that equals to 284.Then you add 284+44 that equals to 328.Then you add 328+11 that equals to 339.Finally, you add 339+11 to get your answer:350.
