60 x 5 = 300 days

So five half-lifes = 300 days

Starting amount = 500mg

Amount after 1st half-life = 250 mg

Amount after 2nd half-life = 125 mg

Amount after 3rd half-life = 62.5 mg

Amount after 4th half-life = 31.25 mg

Amount after 5th half-life = 15.625 mg

Hence after 300 days, the amount of iodine-125 will be 15.625 mg out of 500 mg.

Wendy is creating a large soup based on a recipe. Her recipe calls for of a pint of milk, but she only has of a pint of milk, so

xeze [42]

Answer:

She can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some data of this problem is missing, the data missing is:

Her recipe calls for 3/4 of a pint of milk and she only has 5/8 of a pint of milk.

Now, to know what's the portion she can do with that amount we need to divide the amount of milk she has by the total amount she needs:

$\frac{5}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{4}$

When we divide we turn the second fraction upside down (the numerator becomes the denominator and viceversa) and multiply, thus:

$\frac{5}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{5}{8}$ × $\frac{4}{3} =\frac{20}{24}$

If we simplify this last expression we have:

$\frac{20}{24}=\frac{10}{12} =\frac{5}{6}$

Thus, she can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.

Note: In case the data missing is different, you can apply this same procedure with the fractions you have.

If AB is 12, what is the length of A'B'?

lukranit [14]

Triangles ABC and A'B'C are similar. This means that the corresponding sides are in the same ratio, in this case:

$\frac{BC}{B^{\prime}C}=\frac{AC}{A^{\prime}C}=\frac{AB}{A^{\prime}B^{\prime}}$

Replacing with data:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{6}=\frac{12}{A^{\prime}B^{\prime}} \\ 9\cdot A^{\prime}B^{\prime}=12\cdot6 \\ A^{\prime}B^{\prime}=\frac{72}{9} \\ A^{\prime}B^{\prime}=8 \end{gathered}$
