t_{1/2}=8\text{ min}\\N_0=450\text{ g}\\N(t)=37\text{ g}\\t=?\\\\N(t)=N_0\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{\tfrac{t}{t_{1/2}}}\\\\37=450\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{\tfrac{t}{8}}\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{\tfrac{t}{8}}=\dfrac{37}{450}\\\\\dfrac{t}{8}=\log_{\tfrac{1}{2}}\dfrac{37}{450}\\\\t=8\log_{\tfrac{1}{2}}\dfrac{37}{450}\\\vdots\\t\approx28.8\text{ min}

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the difference between the two values

1.8-1.2=0.6

Then divide the original value by the difference

difference/original value

0.6/1.2=0.5

0.5*100=50

So, the amount of iron increased by 50%

Hope this helped! :)

The drawing shown contains the intersection of two lines.
yulyashka [42]
Since they are vertical angles, they equal each other. Therefor the equation would be: 30x-29 = 20x+21
10x = 50
X = 5
After, you plug whatever x is back into the other equations.
20(5)+21 = 121 and 30(5)-29 = 121
