Using proportions, it is found that the family will drive 482.8 km on the new route.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the family travels a distance of 125% of 240 miles, hence the distance is:

D = 1.25 x 240 = 300 miles.

Since there are are approximately <u>48.28 kilometers in 30 miles</u>, and 300/30 = 10, the distance in kilometers is given by:

D = 48.28 x 10 = 482.8 km.

The​ half-life of radium is 1690 years. If 20 grams are present​ now, how much will be present in 250 ​years?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

  18.05 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier of the initial quantity is ...

  (1/2)^(t/1690)

so, for t=250, this becomes ...

  (1/2)^(250/1690) ≈ 0.902545

Then the quantity remaining of the initial 20 g is ...

  (20 g)(0.902545) ≈ 18.05 g

Solve for the variable X=5y for y
SSSSS [86.1K]

y= x/5. or x over 5. you are trying to isolate y. in other words you are trying to get y all by itself on one side of the equation. To do that, you need to divide 5 by both sides. It is important to do what you do on one side to the other because that keeps that values of the equation the same.
