Answer:

2000 eels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the total estimate of the eels = x

She returns the 50 eels to the lake.

The next day Hannah catches 400 eels, of these 400 eels, 10 are ringed.

To solve the above question, we have the following:

50/x = 10/400

Cross Multiply

10x = 50 × 400

x = 50 × 400/10

x = 2000 eels

Therefore, the total estimate of the eels in the lake = 2000 eels
