24 cents.

11/66= 6
4/x= 6
4•6= 24
(proportions)

hope this is clear :))

Suppose an unknown radioactive substance produces 8000 counts per minute on a Geiger counter at a certain time, and only 500 cou

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The half-life of the radioactive substance is of 3.25 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of radioactive substance is proportional to the number of counts per minute:

This means that the amount is given by the following differential equation:

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = -kQ$

In which k is the decay rate.

The solution is:

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-kt}$

In which Q(0) is the initial amount:

8000 counts per minute on a Geiger counter at a certain time

This means that $Q(0) = 8000$

500 counts per minute 13 days later.

This means that $Q(13) = 500$ . We use this to find k.

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-kt}$

$500 = 8000e^{-13k}$

$e^{-13k} = \frac{500}{8000}$

$\ln{e^{-13k}} = \ln{\frac{500}{8000}}$

$-13k = \ln{\frac{500}{8000}}$

$k = -\frac{\ln{\frac{500}{8000}}}{13}$

$k = 0.2133$

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-0.2133t}$

Determine the half-life of the radioactive substance.

This is t for which Q(t) = 0.5Q(0). So

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-0.2133t}$

$0.5Q(0) = Q(0)e^{-0.2133t}$

$e^{-0.2133t} = 0.5$

$\ln{e^{-0.2133t}} = \ln{0.5}$

$-0.2133t = \ln{0.5}$

$t = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{0.2133}$

$t = 3.25$

The half-life of the radioactive substance is of 3.25 days.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

1.9 Liters (L) per conatiner

Step-by-step explanation:

If we add the 2.25 L of Orange Juice, 4.75 L or Pineapple Juice, and the 2.5 L of Grape Juice we get 9.5. Since there are 5 different containers we need to divide 9.5 by 5 which is 1.9L of smoothie in each container.
