The ratio of the trout with tags that are caught and the total trout with tags is first calculated.

     r = 12 trout / 180 trout = 1/15

Then, we divide the number of trouts caught without tag by the value obtained above.

     N = (48 - 12) / (1/15) = 540

Then, we add the number obtained above and 180.
     T = 540 + 180 = 720

You have to double 1 and 50 to get 2 and 100

1:50 = 2:100

1x2=2

50x2=100

So the statement, <em>if she studied for 2 hours, she would have gotten 100%</em>,  makes sense

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Smart phone sales since 1990:- linear function

Half life of a pesticide :- exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function can be applicable in almost any situation where there is an unknown quantity can be represented by a linear equation, like figuring out income over time, calculating mileage rates, or predicting profit, therefore smart phone sales since 1990 can be model with linear function

Exponential functions can be applicable in social, scientific, or personal finance situations such as population growth, radioactive decay and half life, therefore half life of pesticide can be model with exponential function.
