Answer:

  44.7 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for exponential decay can be written in the form ...

  y = a·b^(t/p)

where 'a' is the initial value, 'b' is the decay factor, 'p' is the period over which the decay factor is applicable, and t is time in the same units as p.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Using the above equation, we have ...

  a = initial value = 110 mg

  b = decay factor = 55/110 = 1/2 over time period p=20 hours

Then the equation is ...

  y = 110·(1/2)^(t/20) . . . . amount remaining after t hours

<h3>Solution</h3>

We want the amount remaining after 26 hours. That will be ...

  y = 110·(1/2)^(26/20) ≈ 44.67

About 44.7 milligrams will remain after 26 hours.

Margaret has 16 yards of fabric and she is making dresses for z doll write the expression for the length of fabric used for each
emmasim [6.3K]
<h3>The expression for the length of fabric used for each doll is \frac{16}{z}\ yards</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Margaret has 16 yards of fabric

she is making dresses for z doll

Therefore,

Total length of fabric = 16 yards

Number of dresses = z dolls

Therefore,

\text{ length of fabric used for each doll } = \frac{ \text{ Total length of fabric }} {\text{ z dolls }}\\\\\text{ length of fabric used for each doll } = \frac{16}{z}\ yards

Thus, the expression for the length of fabric used for each doll is \frac{16}{z}\ yards

Answer:

9) 51 × 10⁻⁵ = 0.00051

10) Cash price = #54,000 × (1 - 0.125) = #47,250

11) -40·p·q÷(-2)² = -10·p·q

12) 0.003 × 0.045 = 1.35 × 10⁻⁴

13) N40°W = 320°

14) The base diameter of the cylinder = √(4 × (700×π cm³/7)/π) = 20 cm

15) The LCM of 2·x²·y, 3·x·y² is 12·x²·y²

16) 636,000 = 6.36 × 10⁵

17) 1/3·π·r²·h₁ = π·r²·h₂

h₂/h₁ = 1/3·π·r²/( π·r²) = 1/3

h₂/12 =  1/3

h₂ = 12/3 = 4 cm, the height of the cylinder = 4 cm

18) The angle = 180 + 45 = 225°

19) The total surface area = 22/7×14²/4 +  22/7 ×14 × 20 = 1034 cm²

20) The number is 58/2 = 29.
