I think the answer is 120
Without needing fancy formulas, we can conclude that after 10 years, half of the substance will be left. So, we can make our own formula:
amount remaining = 1 / 2^(years/10)
So, after 5 years
amount remaining = 1 / 2^(5/10)
amount remaining = 1 / 2^(.5)
amount remaining = 1 /

2 . You have to divide 16 by 8. you get 2 . Hoped that helped
Suppose the length of the card board was x cm by x cm
After squares of 4cm was cut from the corner, the dimension for the box will be:
length=(x-8) cm
width=(x-8) cm
height=4 cm
thus the volume will be:
V=length*width*height
V=4×(x-8)×(x-8)=144
x²-16x+64=36
this can be simplified to form a quadratic equation given by:
x²-16x+28=0
solving the quadratic equation we get:
x=2 or x=14
Thus we conclude that the original dimensions was:
length=14 cm ; width=14 cm
