Answer:

ab = 280

a = 280/b

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is of the form

xy = k

Since we have a and b as our variables

ab = k

20 *14 = k

280 = k

ab = 280

Sometimes they write it as

a = 280/b

The half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years. If you start with 50 atoms of it, how many will you have left after 700 milli

Alecsey [184]

The answer is
A half life pertains to the time it takes for exactly half of a substance to disappear. So, if U235 has a half life of 700 million years, it will take 700 million years for half of it to decay. That would leave .5kg or 500g.
