The amount of the radioactive material in the vault after 140 years is 210 pounds

<h3>How to determine the amount</h3>

We have that the function is given as a model;

f(x) = 300(0.5)x/100

Where

  • x = number of years of the vault = 140 years
  • f(x) is the amount  in pounds

Let's substitute the value of 'x' in the model

f(x) = 300(0.5)x/100

f(x) = \frac{300(0.5) * 140}{100}

f(x) =\frac{21000}{100}

f(140) = 210 pounds

This mean that the function of 149 years would give an amount of 210 pounds rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Thus, the amount of the radioactive material in the vault after 140 years is 210 pounds

Answer:

The possible number of hours the chemistry club can rent the meeting room is 7 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

h=hours

19+4h=47

Subtract 19 from both sides of the equation.

4h=28

Divide 4 from both sides of the equation.

h=7

The possible number of hours the chemistry club can rent the meeting room is 7 hours.
