6.665 grams of the 13 grams remain after 8 hours.

<h3>How much of a 13 gram sample of iron-52 would remain after 8 hours?</h3>

The decay equation for the 13 grams of iron-52 is:

N(t) = 13g*e^{(-ln(2)/8.3h)*t}}

Where N is the amount of iron-52, and t is the time in years.

Where we used the fact that the half-life is exactly 8.3 hours.

Now, the amount that is left is given by N(8h), so we just need to replace the variable t by by 8 hours, so we get:

N(8h) = 13g*e^{(-ln(2)/8.3h)*8h}} = 6.665g

So 6.665 grams of the 13 grams remain after 8 hours.

The lengths of a rectangle have been measured to the nearest tenth of a centimetre they are 87.3cm and 51.8cm what is the upper
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Area (upper bound) = 4527.7056 cm²

               Perimeter (lower bound) = 278 cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The length and width of the rectangle have been ROUNDED to the nearest tenth. Let's calculate what their actual measurements could be:

LENGTH: rounded to 87.3,  actual is between 87.25 and 87.34

<em>87.25 is the lowest number it could be that would round it UP to 87.3</em>

<em>87.34 is the highest number it could be that would round DOWN to 87.3</em>

WIDTH: rounded to 51.8, actual is between 51.75 and 51.84

<em>51.75 is the lowest number it could be that would round it UP to 51.8</em>

<em>51.84 is the highest number it could be that would round DOWN to 51.8</em>

To find the Area of the upper bound, multiply the highest possible length and the highest possible width:

A = 87.34 × 51.84 = 4527.7056

To find the Perimeter of the lower bound, calculate the perimeter using the lowest possible length and the lowest possible width:

P = 2(87.25 + 51.75) = 278
