Jason counts the grasshoppers in the garden on Monday. He finds sixteen big ones and eleven small ones. On Tuesday he counts them again. This time he counts a total of eighty-two grasshoppers. What is a reasonable prediction to make as to how many of the grasshoppers were large ones when he counted them on Tuesday?

on Monday, 16/(16+11) = 16/27 = 0.59 were large
So, on Tuesday, he might reasonably expect to find
0.59 * 82 = 48 or 49 large hoppers
