Answer:

Answer:1.5*10^9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life of the substance is given i.e 4.5B years. You can change it into seconds by multiplying it with 365 and 86400.

The current no of particles is given 78.88% which will be equal to 78.88 if you assume the substance had 100 no of particle initially.

Determine the decay constant by dividing 0.69 by half life

use these values in the equation for the answer.

[ln and e are inverse functions to eachother]

What was the total production of gasoline and kerosene combined (in Barrels)
Elina [12.6K]

The amount of kerosene and gasoline produced is an illustration of equations.

<em>44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced</em>

Let

<em />x \to<em> Proportion of kerosene</em>

<em />y \to<em>  Proportion of Gasoline</em>

<em />

So:

x = 40\%

y = 34\%

Total = 60\ million ---- total barrels produced

The amount of Kerosene produced is:

Kerosene =x \times Total

Kerosene =40\% \times 60\ million

Kerosene = 24\ million

The amount of Gasoline produced is:

Gasoline  =y \times Total

Gasoline  =34\% \times 60\ million

Gasoline  =20.4\ million

So, the total production of both is:

Total = Kerosene + Gasolene

Total = 24\ million + 20.4\ million

Total = 44.4 million

<em>Hence, 44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced</em>
