Answer:

 43.16 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

After each hour, the amount remaining is 100% - 12% = 0.88 times the amount present at the beginning of the hour. Then after 8 hours, the amount remaining will be the initial amount multiplied by 0.88 eight times, or ...

  (120 mg)·(0.88^8) ≈ 43.1561 mg ≈ 43.16 mg

_____

Of course, an exponent is used to signify repeated multiplication. You can actually do the multiplication if you like, but most scientific and graphing calculators handle exponentiation easily.

2000 soldiers stand in a row. Beginning from the left, each soldier calls out a number, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, and
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The number of soldiers that call out a number 3 is 666 soldiers

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Number of soldiers = 2000

Soldiers calling from the left = 1, 2, 3,.....

Soldiers calling from the right = 1, 2, 3,.....

Therefore, since the number soldiers calling out the number 3 are 1 in 3 from the left and 1 in 3 from the right, we split the soldiers into 2 groups of 1000, with one group calling from left and the other group calling from the right;

The number of 3s in called out in the first group from the left is therefore;

1000/3 = 333.33 which is 333 soldiers  or from the 3rd soldier to the 999th soldier

Similarly the number of 3s called out from the second group = 333

Hence the total number of soldiers that call out a number 3 = 333 + 333 = 666 soldiers.

How do properties of integer exponents help you write equivalent expressions
olga55 [171]

When writing equivalent expressions, there are often several possible orders in which to simplify them. However, they will all take you to the same result as long as you do not make a mistake when using the properties. In this example, you will distribute the outer exponent first using the Power of a Product Property.
