Therefore, the bones were 6612.5 years old at the time they were discovered.

<h3><u>Half life</u></h3>

Given that the radioactive element​ carbon-14 has a​ half-life of 5750 years, and a scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 57.5​% of their​ carbon-14, to determine how old were the bones at the time they were discovered, the following calculation must be made:

  • 50 = 5750
  • 100 = 11500
  • 57.5 = X
  • 57.5 x 11500 / 100 = X
  • 6612.5 = X

Therefore, the bones were 6612.5 years old at the time they were discovered.

Compare adding unlike fractions and adding like fractions
muminat

Answer:

We just add numerators and rewrite denominator.

Adding unlike dominators:

We need to find the same denominators. You need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators.

Step-by-step explanation:

You mean unlike denominators and like denominators.

Adding like dominators: We just add numerators and rewrite denominator :

Example : \frac{1}{4} +\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1+2}{4}  =\frac{3}{4}

Adding unlike dominators:

We need to find the same denominators. You need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators.

For example :

\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{4}

LCM for 5 and 4 is 20 : Now, divide by 5 and multiply by 1 for first fraction. 20 divide by 4 and multiply by 3 :

\frac{1*4}{20} +\frac{3*5}{20}=\frac{4}{20} +\frac{15}{20}=\frac{19}{20}
