Since we are given with the identity of the chemical as Carbon-14, we obtain the half-life of the chemical from a reliable source and get a value of 5730 years. The equation that we are going to use for this item is,
                              A(t)/A(0) = (0.50)^(n/5730)
where A(t) is the current amount, A(0) is the initial amount and n is the number of years. We know from the given that the ratio of A(t) and A(0) is equal to 0.63. Substituting this to the given,
                                0.63 = 0.50^(n/5730)
                                        n = 3819.48 
Thus, the sample is approximately 3819.5 years old.

Dan has the same number of nickels and dimes in his piggy bank. If the total amount of those coins is $0.90, how many of each co
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by defining a couple things.

x = amount of nickels

y = amount of dimes

Since he has the same amount of each, we can say this.

x = y

And because we know it totals 0.90, we can say this.

0.05x + 0.10y = 0.90

then, we substitute and get this.

0.05x + 0.10x = 0.90

Simplify.

0.15x = 0.90

Divide both sides by 0.15.

x = 6

So we have 6 nickels, and they both are the same, so we have 6 dimes.
