Let's suppose Sarah's age is s and Paul's age is p.To find Paul's age it would be P=5s-8 because it says that Paul's age is 8 less, or 8-, 5 times Sarah's age, so 5s. that would make the equation p=5s-8.

Sarah= 12
Paul=52
12+52=64
Equation to find Paul's age: p=(64+8)÷6×5-8
To get that, I did 64+8=72. I added 8 to 64 because 64 is a combination of Sarah's age and Paul's age. <em>(At the beginning, it also said that 8 less than 5 times the age of Sarah so you add the 8 back to have 6 times the age of Sarah which is 72.)</em> Then, 72÷6=12. <em>(I divide it by 6 because Paul is 5 times and including Sarah which is 6.)</em> Next, 12×5=60 <em>(Times 5 because it is 5 times of Sarah's age and then subtract 8 from it.)</em> Lastly, 60-8=52 <em>(the age of Paul is 8 less than 5 times of Sarah's age.)</em>

If a substance decays at a rate of 25% every 10 years, how long will it take 512 grams of the substance to decay to 121.5 grams

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

It will take 50 years to decay from 512 grams to 121.5 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay formula :

$N=N_0e^{-\lambda t}$

where

N= amount of substance after t time

N₀= initial of substance

t= time.

A substance decays at a rate 25% every 10 years.

So, remaining amount of the substance is = (100%-25%)= 75%

$\frac{N}{N_0}=\frac{75\%}{100\%}=\frac{75}{100}=\frac34$ , t= 10

$N=N_0e^{-\lambda t}$

$\Rightarrow \frac {N}{N_0}=e^{-\lambda t}$

$\Rightarrow \frac34 =e^{-\lambda .10}$

Taking ln both sides

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac34| =ln|e^{-\lambda .10}|$

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac34|=-10\lambda$

$\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{ ln|\frac34|}{-10}$

Now , N₀= 512 grams, N= 121.5 grams, t=?

$N=N_0e^{-\lambda t}$

$\therefore 121.5=512e^{-\frac{ln|\frac34|}{-10}.t}$

$\Rightarrow 121.5=512e^{\frac{ln|\frac34|}{10}.t}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{121.5}{512}=e^{\frac{ln|\frac34|}{10}.t}$

Taking ln both sides

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac{121.5}{512}|=ln|e^{\frac{ln|\frac34|}{10}.t}|$

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac{121.5}{512}|={\frac{ln|\frac34|}{10}.t}$

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{ln|\frac{121.5}{512}|}{\frac{ln|\frac34|}{10}}$

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{10.ln|\frac{121.5}{512}|}{{ln|\frac34|}}$

⇒t=50 years

It will take 50 years to decay from 512 grams to 121.5 grams.

4 primer año

4 segundo año

4 tercer año pero nos falta 4 meses 4/12 = .33333 esto x 4 los meses = 1.3333

____

13.3333

7200 * .133333= 959.9976 por aproximacion son 960

7200+960 = 8160 Es el monto producido
