The half life of the radioactive isotope to the nearest tenth is 0.83 days.

<h3>What is rate of radioactive decay?</h3>

The rate of radioactive decay is the rate at which a radioactive isotope is disintegrated. The half life is the time taken for half of the original amount of radioactive isotope to remain.

Given that;

t/12 = 0.693/k

Where;

t1/2 - half life

k =decay constant

t/12 = 0.693/0.84

t/12 = 0.83 days

8 miles in 0.5 hour what rate in miles per hour

yan [13]

In this question it is already given that a person travels 8 miles in 0.5 hours. This is enough information to get to the required answer. Let us first write down all the information's that are already given in the question.
In 0.5 hours the person covers a distance = 8 miles
Then
In 1 hour the person covers a distance of = 8/0.5 miles
= 16 miles
So the speed of the person in miles per hour = 16/1 miles/hour
