@danicap @GreatGuy

Answer 2

The original sample has a total of 150 fish

so 60/150 are bass

the second sample has 1500 fish (10 times more)

so you might expect 10 times more bass (that is 10 times more than 60....)

Answer 3

so 600?

Answer 4

maybe @kiamousekia might like to try 10 times 60 herself?
