The equation to solving this is 90/40 = 88 / X
knowing this I multiply 40 and 88 and 90 and x. I got 3520 and 90x. Now I divide 3520 by 90 and I get 39 and 1/9. So the time for the sample to decay is:
39 1/9 years.

An aquarium with a square base has no top. There is a metal frame. Glass costs 8 dollars/m^2 and the frame costs 7 dollars/m. Th
aleksley [76]
Let x = one of the side lengths of the base.
Then area of the base = x². So volume of the base = x²h.
That gives us x²h = 20. Solving for x, we get x = √(20/h²).

Glass is needed to cover the sides of the aquarium. There are 4 sides and 1 base. Area of a side = hx = h√(20/h²). Area of the base = x² = 20/h. Total area of glass = h√(20/h²) + 20/h. So the cost for glass = 8 * [h√(20/h²) + 20/h] = 8 h√(20/h²) + 160/h.

Metal frame is needed along the edges of the sides. There are 4 edges on the top, 4 edges in the bottom and 4 vertical edges. So the total length of metal frame = 4x + 4x + 4h = 8 √(20/h²) + 4h. Then the cost for metal frame = 7 * [8 √(20/h²) + 4h] = 56 √(20/h²) + 28h.

So the total cost = 8 h√(20/h²) + 160/h +  56 √(20/h²) + 28h

natali 33 [55]
The relationship  between speed (s), distance (d), and time (t) is s = d/t. Substituting the given information, we see that 105/t < 70105 < 70t1.5 < t So, the time will be AT LEAST 1.5 hours. Hope this helps.
