18 1/2 -17 3/4
= 18.50 -17.75
= 0.75
= 3/4
The 4th selection is appropriate.
Answer:
7.2 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find the time using the radioactive decay rate formula is given as:
t = t½ × In(Nt/No)/-In2
Where
t½ = half life = 6 minutes
No = Initial Amount = 260 grams
Nt = Amount after decay
= 113 grams
Hence:
t = 6 × In(113/260)/-In2
t = 7.2131331036796 minutes
Approximately = 7.2 minutes
The solution would be: a = 3/4
The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
Where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
The equation of the given line is expressed as
3x - 6y = 30
Rearranging it so that it will look like the slope intercept form, it becomes
6y = 3x - 30
Dividing both sides by 6, it becomes
6y/6 = 3x/6 - 30/6
y = x/2 - 5
Looking at the equation, slope, m = 1/2
If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line parallel to the given line is 1/2
To determine the y intercept, c of the line passing through the point (4, - 9), we would substitute
x = 4, y = - 9 and m = 1/2 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes
- 9 = 1/2 * 4 + c
- 9 = 2 + c
c = - 9 - 2
c = - 11
By substtuting m = 1/2 and c = - 11 into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line would be
y = x/2 - 11
You do nine divided by fifteen which =$0.6
