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]

Answer:

There are 1,679,616 ways to answer the test

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the number of ways to answer the test

From the question, we have that there are 8 questions, with each having 6 possible answers

Hence, the total number of answers to pick from is 8 * 6 = 48

We are to pick 6 out of this total 48, with 1 option per question

So in the first, we are picking 1 out of 6

The number of ways here is;

6 C 1 = 6 ways

The next, we have 6 ways also , up to the 8th question

So, the total number of ways will be;

6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 = 6^8 =

1,679,616
