Ok

A=P(1/2)^(t/h)
A=amount final
P=initial amount
t=time elapsed
h=time of half life

so

given h=13
and initial =48g
and final is 12g


12=48(1/2)^(t/13)
divide both sides by 48
1/4=(1/2)^(t/13)
what a coincidence
(1/2)^2=(1/2)^(t/13)
so
2=t/13
26=t

26 hours have passed

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

81 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a diagram to represent what you know.

You don't know the values of the lengths so represent them algebraically.

You know the perimeter is 45 inches and that the perimeter is calculated by the sum of all of the sides of a shape.

You can rearrange to find the value of a side you've denoted as some unknown variable.

The area is given by the product of the sides. Express this algebraically and then input the value you found.

carlos can write 3 to 4 pages in his journal in 2/3 hour. if he writes for 5 hours, what's a reasonable number of pages he can w
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30

22.5 ≤ p ≤ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that in 2/3 hours, Carlos can write 3 to 4 pages.

First, lets find how many 2/3's are in 5. Lets divide 5 by 2/3.

\frac{5}{\frac{2}{3}}=7.5

So there are 7.5 2/3's in 5.

Now, lets assume Carlos writes 4 pages per 2/3 hours consistently throughout that 5 hours. This would yield the maximum amount of pages Carlos can write in 5 hours.

7.5(4) = 30

So the maximum amount of pages Carlos can write in 5 hours is 30.

Now, lets assume Carlos writes 3 pages per 2/3 hours consistently throughout that 5 hours. This would yield the minimum amount of pages Carlos can write in 5 hours.

7.5(3) = 22.5

So the minimum amount of pages Carlos can write in 5 hours is 22.5.

Now we can write the information that we found as an inequality. Lets make p equal to the pages that Carlos can write in 5 hours.

22.5 ≤ p ≤ 30

Any value greater than to equal to 22.5 and less than or equal to 30 would be reasonable.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.
