Two students were asked to use estimation strategies to find a reasonable solution to this question: A forester saw 53 birds, 30 deer, 12 chipmunks, and 2 times as many squirrels as chipmunks. Estimate how many total animals the forester saw. From the choices below, select the student with a more reasonable solution.

it is true

step-by-step explanation:

all the combinations add up i used   calculator

i dont understand the question? ?

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
